Discussion: I was interviewed by a man who hinted that I was a lesbian when I told him I was living with a friend. I was very hurt and reacted aggressively!

As a heterosexual, I do not know the sensitivities of the LGBT community. At the same time, it is worth acknowledging that there is a natural curiosity among heterosexuals on the subject. The hint in a job interview about the sexual orientation of the interviewee is undoubtedly out of place. Still, instead of reacting aggressively, one can adopt the approach of a funny response! You didn't get the (coveted) job either, so you didn't achieve the goal. (Maybe a little sense of revenge?) So, you should consider a different response, even if it is justified.
