My boss confirmed the fact that the woman in charge of hiring at the library does not like me. I said, "She is absolutely prejudiced against me." She responded, "Yes, and ****,too, though I don't understand why...."
Oops! I wanted to tell her that she just admitted that even she knows it to be true. I doubt that she realized what she said. If only someone else had heard it.
So that broke the last thread holding me back from saying anything to the administration. I wrote to the Human Resources administrator, asking if denying an interview was legal. I kept it simple. I did not mention names. We'll see if anything at all comes of it.
However, like I said, it is still legal to discriminate against homosexuals in Florida. I do not know if the woman in question knows that I'm gay. She might be prejudiced for any other reason... the way I dress, the way I spoke to her, my height, the scars on my face, the color of my teeth... who the heck knows?
Only that woman. And she is a powerful woman.
