Today, I started a part-time job at a nursery. One of the kids asked me if I was single, so I explained to her that I am with another woman. My boss fired me on the spot for "acting inappropriately". FML

That is discrimination and illegal in the UK I believe. They asked, you answered. It isn't like you said you had sex. You were not even pushing your view on them, you were just being honest. I wonder if your boss would have reacted that way if you'd been in a heterosexual relationship..

How is it inappropriate to tell them about your partner if they ask whether you have one?

The answer was yes or no. The kid does not need any more details.

That sounds like discrimination. I assume when the kid asked, you just told him/her that you were dating a woman and that's what got you fired. I hope you sue.

Lawyer up. What your boss did is certainly illegal.

Okay I have to say you deserve it, a simple "no" would do
