I was a right hand person to the owner of a Claims handling company. So I know what it entails. Anytime he was sick, had a day off or was in meetings, I was the one to make decisions, answer questions and help others exactly as he would have. He'd clue me in ahead if something was coming up. Although my desk was outside his office with window between us open so I usually heard everything and already knew before he could tell me.
I am sure the mayor has other people working for her handling topics not related to equality rights. YOu said the title of job was Equality Officer, so I assume it would handle equality of any kind, regarding hiring in her office, and equality issues regarding many classifications, race, male or female, age, LGBT and others. This would mean she is assuming you would be able to want to see people in any of these classifications get their equal rights, for a job, for service of any kind, and the kinds of things that have come up for Gay people or Transgender, etc. I know Christians even Pastors who are open minded regarding LGBT people. I even had an on line chat friend years back who was a Pastor of a Gay friendly church. Just as there are many denominations of churches because devout believers differed on a subject or two, there are churches who embrace them and their issues as well.
SO the fact remains, as to how open minded you are. If you are a Christian but support Gay rights, then you should go for the job. If you have chosen to believe that being Gay is wrong, and an abomination to God, then you should not apply. It will become clear to people in the office soon enough that you can't fully support and help gay people because of your convictions. You will be torn in opposite directions.
I will add something here not related to your question but food for thought for you. I am supportive of Gay people and am a Christian. You may think the two can not exist together. See, I used to just accept without question what the Pastor taught. Then I happened to read about how farmers who raise animals will see a Male animal going after another male, not a female. This has been going on as long as there have been humans and animals on the planet and has been known by Farmers for as long as animals have been raised on farms. There will always be a percentage of animals that are naturally born gay. So the argument of a person choosing to be goes out the window here. There is a big question then for God as to why there is such a difference from what we have come to call the norm. Here's another difference I don't hear people focus on, its when animals or people are Albino.
From searching on my pc i got the following: Albinism is a genetic condition where people are born without the usual pigment (color) in their bodies. Their bodies aren't able to make a normal amount of melanin, the chemical that is responsible for eye, skin, and hair color. So most people with albinism have very pale skin, hair, and eyes. Leucism then is where for the most part one is albino but there is some color like to the eyes and in animals can be the eyes, beaks, feet for example. It is called a genetic condition. Since humans have no control over when they go through puberty or how they develop, as in larger or smaller breasts, genitals, and how their bodies begin to react toward a particular sex, my mind tells me this is also a genetic condition. Just because it is different from the norm does not mean it is a disorder. If you can research it yourself and decide to change your views based on this info, then perhaps you would do well in the job and should go for it.
Please do your own research, looking for gay traits in male sheep. Shepherds are more closely familiar with all their sheep since they protect them...at least in the past. So most examples are on sheep and goats but it occurs in all animals. Because of farmers having known this for eons, current day farmers will look for gay traits. The animals that are attracted to the same sex, are not going to be good to use for breeding purposes to increase how many animals they have. Those are usually sold for meat as they have no other purpose.
