Examples of inappropriate questions include these: “Are you gay?”; “Are you lesbian?”; “Do you date other women (or men)?”
Although no specific federal laws prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, several states offer legal protection for gays and lesbians. California, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Wisconsin, Vermont, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Minnesota have led the way.
Judge Sidney Asch of the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, commenting on employment discrimination based on sexual orientation, said, “Where sexual proclivity does not relate to job function, it seems clearly unconstitutional to penalize an individual in one of the most imperative of life’s endeavors, the right to earn one’s daily bread.”
It is only a matter of time before federal legislation makes this form of discrimination illegal. Unless you are prepared to demonstrate that being gay or lesbian adversely affects someone’s ability to perform the essential functions of a job, don’t inquire about sexual orientation.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1992 prohibits discrimination against qualified applicants whose disabilities would not prevent them from performing the essential functions of a job with or without a reasonable accommodation. This law applies to every business that employs 15 or more people, unless the business can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that compliance with the law would present an undue hardship on the
employer.
If you’re concerned about whether a handicapped candidate can actually do the job, ask, “Are you capable of performing the essential functions of the job with or without an accommodation?”
After a conditional job offer has been made, an employer may require candidates to undergo a medical examination to determine their fitness for the job. Examination results can assist employers in determining specific accommodations that will enable the candidate to perform the
essential functions of the job.

Examples of inappropriate questions include these: “Are you single or married?”; “Have you ever been married, divorced, separated, or widowed?”; “Do you prefer being called Ms., Mrs., or Miss?”; “What is your spouse’s name?”; “Do you have any children?”; “Are you planning to have children within the next few years?”; “If you were to be employed, would locating suitable childcare be a problem?”
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, along with a number of state antidiscrimination laws, make this area of employer inquiry a dangerous one. Unless there is a clear work-related reason for questions of this nature, it’s best to avoid them altogether. Historically, questions about marital status have been used to discriminate against women.
Even when a candidate is obviously pregnant, it’s best to avoid commenting on the fact in the preemployment phase of the selection process. In 1978, Title VII was amended to include protection for women who are pregnant. Questions such as those indicated previously invite charges of sex discrimination by an unsuccessful job candidate.
Unless there is a clear job-related purpose, it’s best to completely avoid questions of this nature. If a candidate mentions her pregnancy, it is advisable to simply change the subject. Do not make note of what she has told you concerning her pregnancy or her plans for subsequent childcare.
However, employers may inquire whether a candidate would be willing to relocate, if necessary. And, if travel is an essential function of the job, inquiries concerning the candidate’s willingness to travel are appropriate as long as all candidates are asked the same questions.

Issues of race and color normally do not arise as a result of questions posed in an interview. However, because unsuccessful candidates can raise claims of racial discrimination, I have included it here for your review.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it unlawful for employers (or prospective employers) to discriminate on the basis of race, complexion, or color. There are no exceptions.
Those who feel that they have been discriminated against because of their race or color not only have the right to sue, but, under the provisions of The Civil Rights Act of 1991, they also have the right to a jury trial as well as the right to collect punitive and compensatory damages if the claim of discrimination is found to be valid.
Do not allow race or color to enter into the evaluation process. To the contrary, make it a practice to actively recruit minority applicants for positions within your organization. Make sure that you have a written plan to correct any areas of serious racial underrepresentation through an ongoing process of recruiting, hiring, training, and promoting minorities. (If your organization participates in federal contracts either as a primary contractor or a subcontractor, Executive Order 11242
mandates that such a plan be in effect.)
