(On discussing homosexuals being hired in workplace.)
Then no one knows and all at the hiring game is fair.
Done then.
Wasn't that simple?
Wasn't that special?
Don't priss-talk the flaming-walk or prance-walk the lispy-talk.
Keep wrists firm in tone always.
Shake hands like a man and not a limp dead fish.
Make mental note to keep the queerness outta the voice mannerisms.
Never out dress your employer!
Rest assured......
A drag queen will never get past the job qualifications and interview at Hooters.

'A drag queen will never get past the job qualifications and interview at Hooters. '
clearly he has never heard of this place

though I suppose these folks are not drag queens, so much as transgendered... or as they prefer 'Gender Illusionists'
I feel that a person should get a job or not get a job based on their qualifications, not their gender, sexuality, or clothing of choice. Then again, I'm crazy that way.
I'm laughing, because a good friend of mine is an MTF transsexual who got the hormones and surgery very young (before 21). She worked at Hooters for a year. Nobody knew except the manager who hired her. But wait, aren't these "moralists" supposed to avoid being tempted into "sexual immorality" and avoid places like Hooters?
Also, those of us who live in the real world circa 2008 know there are some very manly gay men out there, from police officers to athletes to soldiers. I'd love to be there when Doobie expresses his views on employment equality to one of them.
@ TheLee: Everyone at my company who knows me knows I'm bi and has met my wife, too.
Where I work... no one gives a flying hoot
I talk about my boyfriend about as much as any of my colleagues talk about their significant others. The topic of actual sex acts rarely IF EVER comes up and then only with my co-workers who I'm close friends with.
Best of all... the fact that I'm gay has NO impact on my job at all! why would it... i'm a systems analyst?! how does my love and sex life play into that?
ok, I admit, one time there was a color coded excel spread sheet up in a meeting and it happened to look like a rainbow and everyone thought I had somehow orchestrated it, but it was purely coincidence.
ok... and one time, a colleague said in a meeting that he was 'coming out' as being against a particular project. However he started talking by just saying 'it is time i came out'... everyone giggled and looked at me... i laughed and the colleague laughed and winked and said "we'll talk later" to me.
this is the extent to which my job and sexuality have collided.
Original poetry?
Except it's still crap.
"A drag queen will never get past the job qualifications and interview at Hooters. "
Only because he doesn't have the tits, ass or legs to fill out the uniform.
What's your point?
"no one knows and all at the hiring game is fair."

"A drag queen will never get past the job qualifications and interview at Hooters."
I think Hooter's is a valid exception to anti-sexism practices.
... "Never out dress your employer"?
Hell, if I were hiring and an interviewee was wearing an Armani suit and a Rolex watch, that'd impress the hell out of me.
You'd never be able to tell most gay men, because the sweeping majority of gay men don't act like campy Frank N Furter rejects.
But speaking of drag queens: I went to a gay pride fair last year and saw an extremely sexy drag fella. He had gorgeous legs and pretty pouty lips and such long, gorgeous blond hair! I was so jealous--he was so beautiful! Far prettier than me. And I'm a woman by birth. :(

Because, of course, Hooters provides the best jobs. If that's your gold standard...
Confused?
