Bakit ang dami pong gays and lesbian sa call center?

Here's my take:

BPO Philippines Factoid 1: All professionals/employees in this industry come from colorful backgrounds (wherein colorful is read as an expletive of your choice).

BPO companies reward performance not conformity to cultural standards of propriety. People of this sexual persuasion/identity have their innate will, creativity, determination, and 'churva' to get them going in this tough industry. NO DICE, they excel and will continue to excel.

Unless society or whatever toilet administration is present provides a third gender oriented bathroom then we're stuck with pissing with transvestites. They tend to use the stalls so that's fine, I guess.

I'm sure a lot of biological women are concerned when transvestites (no offense meant by using this term) use biologically female oriented washrooms.

Then again, opening up 'disabled' bathrooms for their use would be offensive and probably conducive to improper usage.

I digress, there is a huge proportion of gays and lesbians in the industry because the environment is set up for that:

1) Work is at night (I hate the term graveyard). Go figure...they come out at...
2) Dress codes are arbitrary--leaning towards an American/International workplace style which is used as a basis for pushing 'freedom of expression' whether it be mode of dress or sexuality presented.
3) Hiring is geared towards communications skills. Go figure. Which group of people in the Philippines have spent their whole lives fighting and pushing through their communications skills?
4) Hiring is geared towards tertiary level prospects. More often than not, this group of people do well scholastically as part of their strive towards self determination.
5) There is also a denser population of gay management (for want of a better term) in this industry.

Bottom line: Revenue is all that matters. If your employee performs up to par or in excess off, who cares?
