A WAKE-UP CALL
I remember the flourish and flurry of seeing the HR director’s name flicker on my phone.
“Hey Langa”, the voice was self-aware and far less jovial than our previous conversations.
It was not good news.
They had remembered that I was gay and realised that it would be too risky for me to work in the country where the position was based.
Prosecutable by death.
It was a brief call.
I felt deflated and discriminated against, and over time it made me wonder about the impact such exclusionary practices had on a company’s and country’s economic potential. The more I read on the matter, the more convinced I became that people who own companies should insist that those who run them diversify their teams.
