I am 16, openly gay(everyone knows), and live in a small town. I live in Arkansas, and here there is no law barring discrimination against gays in the work force, so around here companies can refuse to hire me because I am gay. I have tried every place I can think of, even desperate places like grociery stores, sonic, and every other fast food restaraunt. I have friends who work at these places, and the end up telling me that I wasnt hired because I was gay. At Sonic even, the manager won’t hire a male if he’s gay, but he will hire lesbians. Can someone tell me what I can do to get a job even though this is a problem?
ANY JOB at all. Just anything, any kind of money in my pocket would be nice. Or something to get work experiance.
Sue them.

I would contact a lawyer and see if there is any federal regulations against that type of discrimination and if there is sue them under that.

Unfortunately there’s not much you can do. You could sue, but that’d cause a lot of problems for yourself and for your family. Maybe you should consider selling on Ebay, or doing small jobs like mowing yards, doing errands for the elderly, or things like that. Try to find something until you’re 18, then move and start fresh somewhere, somewhere a little more gay friendly!!
Best of luck to you!!
