Melech 9,900 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 "A Russian man has been refused a job in a sports store because its management thought his "feminine manner" and being "too well-groomed" suggested he was part of the LGBTQ community. Eduard Zavyalov, whose surname was changed for security reasons, from Omsk, in south-western Siberia, never got to the interview stage when he applied for the sales consultant job. Instead, he received a letter from the shop's human resources department informing him his "feminine manner of speaking and gestures as well as his appearance (excessive grooming and calling clothes) create a general impression that you are a representative of a sexual minority which promotes non-traditional sexual relations through behaviour and appearance". The company added the decision was made on the basis of Russia's so-called gay propaganda law, which bans the promotion of homosexual behaviour to minors. In this respect, it said it did not have "the moral and legal right" to employ Mr Zavyalov. The law has often been used as a tool to target and intimidate the LGBTQ community in Russia and the European Court of Human Rights ruled in June that the law was encouraging homophobia and violated the right to freedom of expression. According to local media, Mr Zavyalov said that during the interview he was not asked about his work experience but only about his appearance." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/man-sports-store-job-refuse-gay-looks-lgbt-russia-siberia-feminine-manner-homophobia-omsk-excessive-a7887666.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost in limbo 6,035 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 This is really stupid, but why still expect something from Russia? Honestly, while Russia is under Putin, this things won't stop being daily this is the state of grace, this is the worthwhile fight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you could contest that and take them to court? I thought Germany was fairly progressive - at least in Berlin. I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!!

They are relatively progressive but still not to the level of many other Nations Also my Country (Canada) is very progressive but it doesnt mean that isolated incidences of racism, homophobia or even hate crimes never occur so it doesnt mean anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
