Yep unfortunately it's true. Is this lady gay? I suppose if Lamba is defending her one can assume so. I know a lot of gay women who are very nice people and have become accustomed to be very individualistic as far as appearance is concerned.
probably. When an employer states requirements for the job, of course within reason, you must comply.
If they require you purchase shoes, you cannot show up barefoot. If they require make up and you show up bare faced, you are not in compliance with requirements for employment.
However, in todays all inclusive enviroment, I will be interested to see how this plays out.
