Sorry to post the Telegraph, but I thought this headline was ridiculous — has the Telegraph considered that those promoted just happened to be gay, rather than their sexuality being a deciding factor
Hahahahaha! No, they don’t “consider” whether or not something they say is true, only if it furthers their far right agenda. They frequently post outright lies to the point where I don’t even think those figures are correct.
To be fair, they’ve not explicity said that, I’ve just inferred it. Perhaps my reading was too hasty.
To be fair, gay people do move slightly faster than straight ones. Just a little. A little bit.
Maybe because they’re fabulous
They cannot even add the T.
This truly is lies, damn lies and statistics. 18% of 10% is 2%. 12% of 90% is just under 9%. Heterosexual staff are over 4x times more likely to be promoted than gay staff.

I suspect they’d love it if you pointed that out. If we can dismiss a 6.1% promotion gap and rightly insist that correlation does not imply causation, that rather hurts people making a lazy version of the gender wage gap argument, which I believe is currently 7% for full-time employees. In your words, perhaps those men just happen to earn more without their sex being a deciding factor.
These right wing publications really want to divide people and turn us all on one another.
Ah, the Torygraph.
It’s The Telegraph just trying to stir things up yet again.
Well it’s a running joke about how gay people move faster than straights
Fuck sake, yous are getting promotions? I’ve been doing it for free the whole time, what a riddy.
Alt-right lazy journalism 101.
1. Do a FOI request
2. Scour the data for anything that fits your agenda
3. Write a ‘statistically speaking’ article headline
4. Hide any nuance in the footer
Sit back and enjoy the online consternation.
Before you know it, someone is on TV or the radio complaining about it.
Graph says Ad revenue goes up.
Rinse and repeat.
Well, everyone knows that Scottish gay people are the most intelligent, most handsome, trustworthy, most motivated, empathetic people on the planet. I don’t see the problem
I deal with these kinds of statistics all the time.
One variable that comes to mind is that gay people are less likely to have children and therefore may put MORE EFFORT into their work, and are getting a promotion based on pure merit.
Trumpian culture wars
It’s the Telegraph, a rag. My advice is to ignore it and move on.
Shame on the Telegraph for such a populist “culture wars” headline. Are they actively trying to drive us towards a Trumpian dystopia?

My problem here is that if it’s the telegraph are they cherry picking a window that suits a narrative?
>”A diversity found that…”
A diversity found it, did it? At least proof-read the byline you lazy bigot.
>”It said this…”
That wouldn’t pass a NAT5 english essay hand-in!
Who’s writing this garbage?
It’s absolutely true, I work in the Civil Service in the department for Made Up Internet Stories and it’s like behind the scenes in the chinese imperial court out there with all the manoeuvring and backstabbing and dramas. None of us are gay, it’s all a bluff, the big boss says ‘Only gay get pay’ and we all have to dig deep into old fashioned stereotypes just to be seen as gay enough to get a chance at a promotion. I ditched the suit nearly a year ago and came in full leather daddy, got a 5% rise so quick it actually backdated itself into my bank account for last month’s pay. I can’t keep it up though, Tam in Fine Ants came in full flamingo last week, I can’t top that, I’ve tried to get polari classes online but they come and go too quick. We’ve got cabaret season coming up as well so the pressure is fully on. It’s too much.
Ah nice to see they’ve laid off attacking ADHD folks for at least article and have gone to the ole classic target instead. For old times sake I guess.
“LGB” Fuck off Telegraph with your transphobic pish
Why wouldn’t you be more likely to be promoted if you’re gay?
We know that demographics impact outcomes.
On average men earn more than women because women spend more time looking after kids.
Guess who on average spends less time looking after kids than straight people?
>Sorry to post the Telegraph
Then don’t.
Seriously, the less attention that rag gets the better.
It’s like every telegraph journalist went to the Goebbels institute for propaganda, but dropped out after one semester.
In the Telegraph’s mental world, the most qualified and suitable candidate for anything is inevitably white, male and heterosexual. Anyone not fitting that description can only have achieved advancement through preferential treatment or cheating.
One of the stupidest questions ever asked on Reddit. Of course they haven’t. Or that they might have been better with recruitment metrics…
This is the paper that employs Alison Pearson, what do you expect.
I hate that shitrag worst of all
Makes total sense. As we all know, the gays are born with superior administrative abilities.
That’s why they outperform the straights in this matter. Simple genetics.

The LGB+ bit in that article was pretty pathetic.
