Study: Employers 40 Percent Less Likely To Hire Gay Men | Gay men are 40 percent less likely to be called in for job interviews, a new study published today in the American Journal of Sociology, “especially in the south or Midwest.” Researchers sent out two different resumes, one which “mentioned relevant experience in a university gay society as a treasurer, while the other listed experience in the “Progressive and Socialist Alliance.” “Applicants without the gay reference on their resumes had an 11.5 per cent chance of being called for an interview. However, CVs which mentioned the gay society had only a 7.2 per cent chance.”
