Sexual Orientation

You have an employee who tells you they can't believe a coworker is a lesbian. They also tell you that they can no longer work with that employee. As a manager, what do you do? Ideally, organizational policies will give you some guidance on how to address sexual orientation questions and issues - from a compliance standpoint. But beyond that, there are team morale and productivity issues that need to be addressed when and if this type of situation arises.

Additional Information

Knowing when and how to deal with issues of sexual orientation, or sexuality, or even lifestyle choices can be a challenge. They're the kind of things that can give rise to gossip and innuendo, at the very least; and outright hostility and harassment if you don't deal with them correctly.
