Chase Bank not so friendly

The banking behemoth J.P. Morgan Chase is bullying its employees into declaring themselves gay friendly.
In their annual worker and management-satisfaction survey, one new question raised alarm bells for employees. It asks workers to check one or more of the following that apply:
Are you:
1. A person with disabilities
2. A person with children with disabilities
3. A person with a spouse/domestic partner with disabilities
4. A member of the LGBT community
5. An ally of the LGBT community, but not personally identifying as LGBT.
Since the surveys require employees to enter their employee ID number, one worker was concerned that answering “no” would endanger his job and open him up to criticism.
Just a few months ago, the CEO of Mozilla was hounded out of his post for not being fully supportive of the LGBT cause.
One worker told Princeton Professor Robert George he fears for his job:
This survey wasn’t anonymous. You had to enter your employee ID. With the way things are going and the fact that LGBT rights are being viewed as pretty much tantamount to the civil rights movement of the mid 50s to late 60s, not selecting that option is essentially saying “I’m not an ally of civil rights;” which is a vague way to say “I’m a bigot.” The worry among many of us is that those who didn’t select that poorly placed, irrelevant option will be placed on the “you can fire these people first” list.
Breitbart contacted J.P. Morgan Chase, who said they didn’t comment on “internal surveys.”
