Hello from Baehr and Curadh, a podcast from the Land of Awes Information Services.
I love you, Curadh.
I love you, Baehr.
This is episode 153 of the Baehr and Curadh podcast.
We're going to talk about the gayest occupations.
Should be fun.
Okay.
Studies indicate that certain occupations tend to have a higher representation of individuals
who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual, and transgender.
We'll throw that in there, too.
I don't think these statistics include transgender, though.
Oh, okay.
So I'll nix that then, though.
It's okay.
Sorry, my bad.
Occupations with a higher concentration of gay individuals.
Number one, airline cabin crew.
This profession shows the highest proportion with 13.7% of employees identifying as gay or bisexual.
Follows a stereotype, I mean, but I can see that.
I guess they call them stereotypes because they're true.
Yeah.
Well, you know, like, I mean, when's the last time, well, you don't fly, you don't fly at all.
No, my wings get way too tired.
But every time that I've flown, I think in the past 30 years, there's at least been, I've run into at least one
ally or, you know, someone who's part of the, you know, the alphabet army.
So, but, so I think you do see it quite a bit.
And it makes sense.
It's in hospitality.
I guess.
You know, they tend to be very friendly people, gay people in general.
Probably to survive.
Yeah.
So, but I mean, you know, we do tend to strike up conversations and.
Well, maybe you do.
Yeah.
Maybe today.
What did you think when that happened, by the way?
Sorry, you don't have the script.
When you're just like, oh, gosh.
I can't even remember what she said now.
She just said he was the best person, best, best in Wichita.
Steve said he was the best in Wichita.
Oh, I'm thinking of a different conversation.
Okay.
Sorry about that.
Okay.
So.
My turn.
Creative and performing arts includes actors, entertainers, presenters, artists, and art
officers, producers, and directors.
Especially directors.
Oh, really?
Well, in, like, community theater.
Uh-huh.
I mean, that's always run by some big old queen.
Yeah.
I know one in town.
You know, the big queen.
You're right.
I didn't see him.
That's funny.
That's, uh, yeah, putting two and two together right there on air.
That's too funny.
By the way, we should mention that they're painting the house on the outside, so there's
going to be lots of indistinct conversation in the background and noises and banging.
I'm not quite sure how to help you with that.
Kind of like that.
I'm not sure how to help you with that.
