Again - what companies - as in corporations?
Religious - yes, I can see it.
Professional sports teams - some - obviously it’s harder to be homosexual in say the NFL vs WNBA as evidenced by the number of athletes who are open
Even at gay oriented clubs though - they don’t ask - as they truly don’t care.
Yea - civil rights gives protections - but also allows some religious room to wiggle too..applying at the local Arab owned deli - they can’t ask - but to work in their schools for example I believe it’s allowable.
Never really understood the reasons to ask - you can be both heterosexual and yet repulsive to both sexes (as well as the laundry list of alternative genders they have dreamed up).
