If the publishers of these two magazines decide not to hire any heterosexuals to work on their editorial staffs, it would be a violation of good business practices. Discriminating against individuals based on their sexual orientation is illegal and can lead to legal action being taken against the company. It would also limit the company's ability to attract the best talent, as they would be excluding a large pool of qualified individuals based on their sexual orientation.
