Graduated this May and sitting for bar exam in July.

I was at my city’s Pride parade today and a local firm had a booth set up. I was talking to the firm’s managing partner because I’m interested in that firm’s practice area and I asked if they were hiring.

The managing partner at one point asked me for my last name, so I told him. He then asked if I was “also part of the tribe”.

I thought he was asking if I’m gay (I am) so I said yes, he fist bumped me, and then I made some comment that my friend who was with me was “not a tribe member but only here for the parade.” He then gave me his business card and told me to send over my resume.

We walked away and my friend asked me “Why did you say you’re Jewish?”

I did not know that “the tribe” was referring to Jews. I thought it was an old-school way of asking if somebody was gay.

Obviously, I need to tell this guy that I am not Jewish, but is it better if I tell him in the first email I send him or should I wait to see if I’m invited to interview and tell him in person?

Unfortunately this actually happened to me earlier today lol
