Something less hypothetical but more anecdotal. My last job as an editor before I started doing the hiring, I sat through all the interviews with my gm. We got done, she asked my opinion and I told her. Her first words: "he's too gay to be a sports reporter."

He was the most qualified, the most interested and got along well the the staff he had met. But she was afraid hiring a gay guy would hurt the business.

If a protection could have been afforded that would have at least made her stop and consider it, maybe he would have had a chance.

Side note, the guy who got hired was super straight. Six months later he told most of his coworkers he didn't go a day without thinking about shooting them. Made for much better moral than having a gay guy.
