Discrimination - advice needed
I am a gay Kiwi helicopter pilot and proud of it. In my job applications I make no secret of what I am, problem is no-one wants to hire me. I think I am being discriminated against. Should I keep quiet about being a Kiwi?

holungchun,
To stop the prejudice, you might consider changing your citizenship to Antarctican and your hobby to tri-sexuality.
It these fail, then the following may help you prepare a Long Term Solution

Discrimination? Listen mate, I have the choice of hiring whichever bloke I see fit. There is no law stating that I have to hire you simply because you say you're gay. It's still my choice. And if it comes down to a choice between two pilots of similar qualifications, and one of them happens to be gay, would you sue me for selecting the one whose sexuality I am not aware of?
Just keep your sexuality to yourself. Believe me Mary, if you're like all the other militant gays out there, it'll become obvious soon enough. Then if I fire you for being gay - well, you can sue me then.

chun, whatever you people choose to be in your spare time is entirely up to you. I've met people from all walks of life in my time. That you happen to be a Kiwi is no business of mine. I'm not prejudiced in the least. Just remember that the bible quite clearly fails to state that Kiwis will be welcome in the Kingdom of Heaven. All god-fearing christians know that to be a Kiwi is an invitatation to have your private member cut off and cast into the fire. So drop him a line and let him know, ok?
I hear there are moves afoot to allow Kiwis to adopt normal children. I think it's disgusting. Next thing you know they'll be playing rugby, and beating the Lions.... where will it all end?
Oh well - could be worse. You could be a Tassie...

Can we just be sure of one thing - this Kiwi thing doesn't involve anything to do with sheep, does it?

Waitaminute!!!
Is this the same ho-lung-I'm-the-guru-ask-me-all-the-questions-chun??
YOU Still havent answered my last questions Mate!!!
Us Kiwis dont mind ya being another Kiwi pilot. That gay bit though is a toughie.
Worked with heaps of gay people during my navy days and ya gotta remember. If you're one of the flounce about, very feminine jobbies ---- you will wind up the rednecks (same if you were black/paki/ghoul/hippie/whatever different ).
Most people dont give a fig if you don't come on OTT.
Don't feel you gotta shout out you're gay.............. I DON'T CARE.

Sorry sprocket for treating Antarticans so coldly.
Perhaps holungchun should just get into the tri-sexuality. They say that once you 'tri-it' you never go back.
At $10.00 an hour John Eacott must be frequenting the upscale part of town.
I used to use the tri-sexual line on girls in singles bars but they tended to get very sheepish.

The post was cleverly written and amusing, whoever posted it.
I think we all realised Heliport is Moderator i/c humour on the forum. Trying to explain irony to our American friends can soemtimes be difficult. Don't worry, I'm sure you've got lots of talents hidden away there somewhere - internet pyramid selling?
BTW, what did you mean you weren't "particularly" interested when gays came on to you? We're all friends here, you can tell us in confidence!
