[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]S|O: I’ve noticed a few resumes/cover letters highlighting a person identifies as queer or bisexual. One person I know well enough to know they are in a hetero marriage and they come across as very traditional insofar as their appearance, clothing, etc. Another colleague noticed it as well, and we are wondering if this is a new way to promote yourself as diverse when you really aren’t.

Re: including bisexuality on your resume/cover letter: I just don’t understand this at all. [/quote]

I've noticed this too and my queer colleagues say they have done this/or would in the future as a way to weed out potentially intolerant employers or bosses. They actually think it could hurt as much as help but don't want to work at a place where they can't be fully themselves. So if it turns off an employer, good to find out sooner than later. And if it doesn't, it's a (small) indicator of a tolerant workplace. They are all in their twenty's/early thirties and feel more emboldened and optimistic in seeking out welcoming workplaces. It makes sense to me. [/quote]
