I wish that you would tell us which country you're from, because laws like this vary depending on where you live. I will tell you how employment issues work in the United States, which is where I'm from.
In the United States gay people can work any job. Valentina is wrong that you cannot be gay in the military, as of 2010 the U.S. military branches have accepted homosexuality.

If you are in the United States, and you think that you are being denied employment, or fired from your job, because gay then that's considered discrimination and you can sue for that. In fact, you should sue for that in anything like that happens to you. You will get treated to the compensation that you deserve, and in some cases get your job back.
If you live in another country, look up the laws and you will find out your rights as a worker in the country. This is a good thing for you to do anyway. These laws might also help you to determine which kind of jobs you can apply for in your country as a gay male.

Any they want, depending on the person hiring them. One of the people commenting on this said you can't be actively homosexual and in the armed forces... which is completely wrong. They got rid of the 'Don't ask, don't tell' policy how long ago. I have a friend that was a Marine and one of his friends there was married to a man. lol.
So, unless you live in a homophobic region, the sky is the limit. ;)

Any job, except perhaps if you're from the US and want to go into some kind of military.

I believe gay people have the right to be hired in whatever jobs they attend to... It shouldn't matter what sexuality you are.. it should not matter because they are only hiring you to work...
However I believe you should try every job you would like to be and hopefully you will get one.

I believe you cannot be actively homosexual in any branched of the armed forces (army, navy, airforce). Other than that it's pretty much up to you. It's not customary to ask about sexual orientation on applications, interviews or enrolment so your employer does not even need to know. Neither do your co-workers. It might be a bad idea to mention it at the interview stage in general conversation. The guy or woman doing the hiring MAY be homophobic and it could prejudice them against you. Strictly speaking' they cannot discriminate on grounds of sexual orientation. But they ARE free to choose who they want for the job, and they are not obliged to tell you WHY your application was not successful. "We chose the applicant we considered most suitable" is all you'll get.Big loop-hole here, eh? Bear it in mind. If you disclose sexual orientation after your probationary period then it will not of course be grounds for warning/dismissal and you cannot be fired without them making the reason known and going through proper channels/procedures. Don't feel like I should have to advise duplicity or concealment. But it might be a case rather of 'prudence' or if its a job you want badly. Why risk falling victim to a bigot by telling them something they don't even need to know? Good luck. Honestly, there are NOT 'gay jobs' or 'straight jobs'. Except the forces. Which is understandable I reckon?

It shouldn't matter what your sexuality is. If someone wont hire a person because of their sexuality, then that is a form of discrimination. Although the only jobs I can think of where someone wouldn't hire a homosexual or a bisexual person would be religious work place organisations.
