A question similar to this was asked of the newly appointed justice of SCOTUS, in an effort to see if he would vote to reverse the legalization of gay marriage in the US. He refused to answer the question.
He refused to lie you mean. He lied throughout the entire process, but, I guess he was too much of a coward to reveal his true self. Homophobe to the max.
Which does not in any way negate what I wrote. I did not state that they only hire large-breasted women nor that all of the women there are large-breasted. Both you and I are correct. ~
I can give you a good example: My brother was a convicted felon at 20 years old. He was never able to get a good, steady job. Hence, he wandered around the country, getting odd jobs when he could, continuing to land in jail and losing those jobs. His past haunted him until he died three years ago.
I am sorry to hear that. Both that he died at what seems an early age and that he had a past that haunted him. I know many felons. Just because they did something in their past doesn't mean they haven't moved on and become a better person. I suppose it is what they did to have that label attached to them. The people I know did NOT have a felony that had children involved.
Very sad, Elli. Makes me wonder what influences or attitudes triggered him to start on his path. My sister was wayward too, and I know exactly how it all started. We do need better systems of rehabilitation.
Many. Gender orientation is not so relevant, but any past proven tendency to not respect boundaries and rights is of crucial relevance.
No workplace should accept a worker with a record of having sexually harassed fellow workers. Why? Because the studies show that it increases workplace stress and illness, and decreases workplace productivity. In general, the offenders don't just target one woman occasionally, but almost all the women almost every day. The offender is not just damaging the work and work culture but is himself wasting time not paying sufficient attention to his work.
All jobs coming into frequent contact with children - no applicant with a history of pedophilia is suitable. Remember what happens when the Catholic Church shunts a pedophile priest from one diocese to another. The public enquiry in Australia found that 15% of all children in the care of priests had been sexually abused and/or raped, in Ireland similar. Victims often end up drug addicts, suicides, or having to live with lifelong sexual dysfunction, depression, and self-hatred. 1% of victims become pedophiles who offend against many children. Govt. inquiries in other countries have not been as well-funded or thorough.
No hospital should accept a gynecologist or obstetrician with a history of rape or sexual assault. Think of the doctors who've been caught and convicted; in one case recently involved 22 pregnant women, one of whom died from the assault.
No mental hospital should accept a psychiatrist, psychologist, occupational therapist or psyche-nurse with a history of rape or sexual assault. The same for asylums for the disabled - cases where intellectually and physically disabled people have been chemically or physically restrained and raped by staff and became pregnant.
No aged care residence should accept a person with a record of sexual abuse of the elderly. A recent documentary on abuse in aged care homes showed footage; a relative who suspected abuse because of bruises and expressions of fear planted a hidden camera in his mother's room. It showed the male nurse raping his ninety-four-year-old mother. Not an isolated case.
Why not forgive past transgressions? Because 2 out of 3 offenders who commit these crimes are psychopathic types who do not change and can be guaranteed to offend many times over. Info - from an academic paper by Roger Mann, a British criminal psychologist who specialized for forty years in the study of sexual offenders.
People who have committed sexual crimes should have only the kind of work which keeps them away from vulnerable targets.

Thank you. I suppose I could have written it with better syntax, but I got a bit stirred up by the issues. It was a great question -- an important one that should probably get more discussion in the media
Sexual orientation should never matter. That is illegal but of course it always happens anyway.
Sexual past is very relevant. I am a massage therapist. I would not like someone who has sexual felonies working on me. If they have a wild life that is no one's business, but if they have a sexual predatory history, that is a different story. Pedophiles don't belong in any job anyplace.
By the same token, as a massage therapist, if you knew a potential client has a history of deviant sexual behavior or of criminal sex acts, does your profession allow you the latitude to decline providing the service? ~
