Local Businesses

If people know that the boss is actually a gay guy do you think his business will be affected?

Let's say there is a guy selling bags and he finally built up his brand name that it became very popular among the public. To your amazement the boss of the company who built up this brand name is actually a gay guy.





Do you think in today's world if the boss of a company is actually a gay guy will cause a bad effect to his business?





Maybe people will start to think that ''Oh...this brand and this company is run by a gay guy so I won't want to buy it.''





Do you think it will happen? And will there be quite a number of people behave in such a way even if they don't say it out but they feel that they won't want to buy something from a company just because the boss is a gay.



I don't think so. Although some people may be very entrenched in their beliefs, they may also be very pragmatic. So even if the business is run by an openly gay person, they may still do business with this person.





They may not wish to hang out with this person in a social setting, but business is business. Of course unless the gay person is very openly supportive of some gay movement or gay activities, which the company feels doesn't tie in with the their image, then they may take a more conservative stance. But generally people are more open and accepting towards gays these days, even here.




Well he sound a very smart hard working individual, very successful, hence, I don't think if he is gay or not, he is doing a very good job, so I don't think his business will be affected anyway.




Don't think so. In biz, if a brand is popular and sells well, that's great and should have nothing to do with the boss's private life.




Nope. Gay will not be a problem. In fact, there may be certain industries e.g. fashion related where people may say that gay guys do better.
