[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm very progressive and work for a very progressive organization that is usually at least 20% LGBTQ. I personally do not buy food at Chick-fil-a and complained to my kid's school when they did a CFA fundraiser. I wouldn't hold it against someone who worked for CFA. I don't discriminate in hiring based on religion. We have a few evangelical Christians and a Jehovah Witness on our staff. We make it clear in hiring that we hire and serve a very diverse group of people and if you can't work with people who hold different views, even views you may strongly disagree with than this is not the place for you. In the interviewing process, we might ask questions such as how would you respond to a student who disclosed a pregnancy? how would you respond to a student who came out to you? how would you respond to a student who couldn't participate in org activities because of religious obligations. In those answers we would be looking for respect, compassion, and a not overly directive response.[/quote]

You are nuts.  Kid was hired to make fries and clean bathrooms.  They would have no opinion on these topics because of their employment.  Those questions are also actionalble under DC Human Rights law.  [/quote]

I'm not saying I would ask those questions because of a person's prior employment, we ask those questions because we provide mentorship services and need to know that staff can provide appropriately neutral support whether their personal beliefs are right, left, or middle.[/quote]

Gee, imagine that.  You want to make sure an employee is capable of actually doing their job requirements.  If their beliefs prevent this, then that's the potential employees issue, not the employer. [/quote]
