"I wouldn't lie on an application form, I would tick the 'other' box because its none of their business " See the 'other' box was 'I'd rather not say' and to be honest, whilst that is the case, I don't have anything to hide, I just don't think it's anyone else's business. My private life is private when it comes to work. | |||

"they shouldnt ask at any stage They are allowed/expected to monitor to comply with equal opportunities legislation." Isn't equal opportunities monitoring done on an anonymised basis ie you should be in a position to tell how many employees fall into which age group, which ethnic origin, what sexual orientation etc but you don't actually need to know which employee falls into which category. | |||

"they shouldnt ask at any stage They are allowed/expected to monitor to comply with equal opportunities legislation." If someone insisted I say how I play I would simply say 'straight'. Let them guess otherwise. | |||

"they shouldnt ask at any stage " Yeap, HR laws are no discrimination, against sex, race, religion or creed, so shouldn't ever come up in any application or job inter_iews! | |||

"On a job application form, when asked what your sexual orientation is... are you honest or do you tell lies? /curious! I have lied about far less personal stuff than that on jod applications! How else do you get an edge??????" Sorry... I think maybe you misunderstand? I wouldn't use my sexuality to get a job. I really don't think that I need to 'get an edge' and I don't need to lie - if that's what you mean - maybe I'm misunderstanding you... I genuinely don't believe that my sexuality has any relevance to my ability to do any sort of job that I'm likely to apply for. | |||

"they shouldnt ask at any stage Yeap, HR laws are no discrimination, against sex, race, religion or creed, so shouldn't ever come up in any application or job inter_iews! " Just playing Devil's Advocate for a moment but, if you don't ask questions about religion, sexuality or gender reassignment, for example, how can you be sure you're not inadvertantly discriminating against people on those grounds? By not asking it would be possible, admittedly in extreme circumstances, to find yourself having unwitting employed a workforce which is made up 100% of Muslim homosexuals who've had a sex change. Anyone who isn't a gay Muslim transexual might well feel discriminated against | |||

I genuinely don't believe that my sexuality has any relevance to my ability to do any sort of job that I'm likely to apply for. " No my fault I didn't really express myself well. The first question is whether I would lie on a job application and the answer is yes if it would give me the best chance of getting that job. Not talking big stuff like claiming to have gone to Eton or having a degree in medicine. So if there was a chance that a question might lead to me being discriminated against if I told the truth then I would tell a porky! If the question was about my sexuality I would think it wouln't be a legitimate question as it is nobody's business but mine. | |||

"I was posed this question on an application form today, and the other day as well. Had to think for a few seconds as to why they were asking! Seems ridiculous really... but no I wouldn't lie, I think they might be a bit suprised fi I turned up and I had put I was gay and some other more diverse ethnicity. Not sure what I'd put actually to be as diverse as possible!" Yeah but you are a straight guy if you were gay and you suspected that by giving an honest answer you might do yourself out of the job would you be honest? Never seen that on an application form myself. | |||
