I will start off as the OP.

It is 2011. I am in a long term relationship with a guy and we are both job hunting. We go to a plaza and start asking for applications at each of the stores. The only place that said they were hiring, offered me an application. I told my then-boyfriend that they were hiring and he went inside and asked for an application but was told they were not hiring seasonal help.

I get an interview set-up while my boyfriend didn't hear from anywhere. Now, just a quick note. This boyfriend was much more masculine than myself. I would say 50-70% of people that meet me can distinguish that I am not straight.

Well, during my interview the creepy 40+ male manager told me I was just the guy he was looking for. He "wanted a guy that could get work done without interfering with his current all-female staff." I was literally offered, and given the job, due to me not being able to hide that I am gay. I was extremely offended but desperate for work while in college.

I have also had my schedules moved around due to my male coworkers not feeling "comfortable" around me, even once I graduated and had an adult job.

I was once turned down for trying to find roommates, through Craigslist (my apartment got condemned so I was eager to find roommates asap). I met the two guys, they said they were looking for a male, mid twenties, career-oriented guy to live with. I was asked if i had a facebook for the roommates to view. The tour of the house went really well, we had a lot of common interests. After the tour I was asked very matter-of-factly "Is that your girlfriend on your profile picture or.....?" To which i said "No, that is just a friend." They followed up with "Do you have a girlfriend?" Within the next 1-2 sentences the roomates told me that they didn't think I would be a good fit.
