Topic	Hair Color at a job
Kenri 10/23/18 1:02:50 PM #94:	HashtagSEP posted... Equating unnatural hair color to being gay is also dumb and kinda offensive Being gay isnt something somebody can change An unnatural hair color is a change theyve already chosen to make and are being asked to undo that change. And its still a choice. The person can choose to keep their hair color and find a different company. A gay person still faces the issues in every day life. Youre basically belittling the issues the LGBT community face by trying to equate the two As a member of the LGBT community, though, there's actually huge overlap between the two issues because at the end of the day, the biggest difference between being closeted and being openly gay or trans is your outward presentation to the world (which is more than appearance, but appearance is a big part). The more ability a business has to curtail your appearance, the more they have cover to not hire LGBT (especially trans) people. I would also wager that LGBT people are more likely to have unnaturally colored hair than the general public (certainly they have the perception/stereotype of such), which is almost certainly why alt-right types have such a big mouth on this topic. I agree not to equate them, and in a sense I appreciate your defense of the LGBT community here, but I think you're slightly missing the forest for the trees. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. <cite>Kenri posted [p:911021592] in Hair Color...
