today...i was told that i could not apply at a restaurant....it was because of my reputation. One of the waitresses coughed at me and called me a dyke...i was sad...it is so hard to get used to.
i don't know how to feel.

Never forget that I love you, and you're perfect the way you are! Screw reputations, you're an awesome loving person!!! <33

Isn't that illegal to not hire someone based on sexuality , can't you sue them for that ?

You should have asked you what reputation they're speaking of. Sounds to me they don't want to hire you because you have a reputation of being a lesbian. That's bullshit.

If they are an equal opportunity employer and they didn't hire you because of your reputation as a lesbian, raise hell. ;D
Hang in there, dear.
By the time you finish reading this sentence, I'll be one step closer.

Frankly that is quite awful of them... it is the year 2006, and still we hear of things such as this - don't let this discourage you *big huggles*

If I were you I'd just apply somewhere else. It's not worth dealing with the shit they dish out to you over how they perceive you. *chuckles* If they have to hire you after telling you to go away for being a lesbian, they'll invent a reason to fire you after a week, or so.

If they were worth working for they wouldn't care either way! I'm pretty sure my boss knows, I mean my friend told everyone else there, so why not her 
You'll find another job, just keep ringing round
Won't go all the way, but I'll go pretty far-ar

*Feels slightly sick* If it'd been me I would have turned to that wairess and said "Yes dear can I help you" and touched her on the shoulder. Streights like that tend to run a mile if you smile at them so touching them on the shoulder is like mental torture for them  D
