if you don't get the job/promotion/salary increase you want, getting your parents to ring me and complain will absolutely change the outcome

Is that legal?

It actually is legal, unfortunately. Religious institutions and schools have exemptions from discrimination legislation. The other employer that has an exemption is the military.

Exemption can also be granted for certain categories of jobs where there is an inherent requirement these include actors/models, fitting room attendant or where there is a specific physical standard required eg the police are allowed to not hire people in wheelchairs.
