The only flaw I see in your original premise is why you believe anyone else, regardless of their makeup, is not equally or better qualified than your grandson- in- law- to- be.
Then the manager should have told him that other people were more qualified rather than he was the most qualified but they had to give the promotion to someone else because the boyfriend is a WASP and not even gay so he doesn't check ANY boxes.
The point I'm trying to make is that choosing who will get a promotion should be based on talent and aptitude rather than immutable characteristics. Just because in the past, it was common and accepted to discriminate against some classes of people doesn't make it right today to discriminate against different classes of people. Discrimination based on immutable characteristics is simply wrong. But Joe is MABA (Making America Bad Again). I wonder what color his hats should be.But most above are DEFINITELY not choices. I didn't choose to have a cleft palate. People don't generally chose to be in a wheelchair or deaf. Yet, there are people who are not accepting of these things and treat them like "boxes."
