Can my boss make my sexual orientation or gender identity public?

No. The fact that the employer or contractor knows the sexual orientation or gender identity of his or her employee does not authorise him or her to make it public or to inform anyone about it without the employee's consent. Abusing information that becomes known about the private lives of people with whom you work constitutes harassment in the workplace. See Constitutional Court ruling C-005 of 2017.
