lol thats fucked up and ILLEGAL, You can not just decides to NOT hire someone just because they're "faggots"

lol its discriminating, I say she/he should SUE the fucker.

Many of the female employees at McDonalds have fake hair, fake nails, fake tits, and too much make-up. So there really isn't that much difference is there?

I'm not going to have sex with any of them, so their sex doesn't interest me. Are the fries hot? Is the order correct? Did I get the right change? These are the things which matter in that situation.

you would be surprised why people dont hire other people. i seen someone get turned away because she wasnt as pretty as the other girl. or people got turned away because their teeth were yellow. i swear,when you leave the hiring up to materialistic self centered vain people, they will only hire who they want and it wont be fair. black people usually get hired by white americans. if a hispanic person is a hiring manager then beware. they will do their best to get their whole Hispanic friends 1st

"No one wants to work with transgendered people or criminals."

I don't give a shit who I work with - as long as they are competent.

Of course, I live and work in Silicon Valley. We don't care about anything as long as you are competent and can get the job done. The only time people care about sexual orientation, color of their skin, religion, any of that bullshit - is in a job that anybody can do.

Get an education people, and all this shit just goes away.

Depends. You would definitely be under "medical conditions" and "sex" discrimination. Hence them literally discriminating you based on your sex and based on your disorder/condition.
