I’m getting ready to graduate and was looking for an internship. My friend who’s already graduated had some friends at other companies and was asking around on my behalf to see if they had any internal postings. Of the 4 people he’s asked 3 of the were currently only hiring either a gay person or minorities. Kinda seems fucked up.

Absolute bullshit.

I call BS on that. i've been in a hiring position at several large companies and the first thing they tell you is NEVER ask about age, religion, sexual orientation, etc. It's very much against the law.

Nobody in their right mind would ever say out loud "sorry we're only hiring gays or minorities for this position". Even if that's what's happening behind the scenes, you absolutely can't admit it publicly. If you can find a place that has done so, report them to the feds. They're in big trouble.
