      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      LGBT issues are at the forefront of many heated discussions in today's society. As a healthcare provider, one cannot discriminate against a client's sexual orientation or preference. Assure the interviewer that you feel it is important to treat all patients and coworkers with the same respect and care despite their sexual orientation. If you have ever worked directly with coworkers or patients who are part of the LGBT community, give a positive example to the interviewer.
