I'm fairly certain it's some form of economic support. In America at least, there's this "Gay Chamber of Commerce" (probably called "LGBT Chamber of Commerce"), and it probably tries to enact policies that get homosexuals jobs on the SOLE BASIS OF THEM BEING HOMOS.
It's ridiculous isn't it? That a business should have to hire people just because they're white/black/Hispanic/Asian/European/homosexual/transexual or what-have-you. I mean, getting a job should be because you have the required skills should it not?
Ok, seriously this is extremely weird. Why would they want to do that? And what profit do they get from this?
After all, when you run a company, its all about profit, nothing else.
I'm not saying that I dont believe it, just that I dont see any justification/reason behind this. But you got me really curious about it, I have to admit. Its rather out of the ordinary, and ridiculous like you said. And yes, getting a job should be about having the required skills for it.
Now, why oh why would they do that?
