Shocking interview question came across
The interview was going normally with some casual family-related questions, but suddenly the interviewer asked something completely inappropriate:-
ARE YOU GAY?
I was shocked and traumatized.
How dare he?
Was this a tech interview or gender testing?

I’d be stunned too. No one should be asked something so personal in a job interview. You handled it better than I would’ve.

That’s beyond the line. Totally irrelevant and discriminatory. You should report this.

What’s wrong in the question? If you are gay then you answer yes and if you are not then you answer no. This will anyway be part of the documentation which you need to fill later and send to HR

[marvelousdahi](username) Why is s*xual orientation being asked when it's not relevant to the job or benefits?
