Baksh notes that the “LGBT community is statistically one of the most discriminated against demographics in the world today.” The LGBT individuals endures discrimination in the work field, in addition to 21 percent of the community employees broadcasting that they have been facing being discriminated at in promotions, getting paid and hired. They also have to deal with the lack of legal protection at work, high levels of job interview’s discrimination, not feeling welcomed and more. Even though, same-sex marriages have been legalized in some countries many of the LGBTQ people fear coming out and revealing their sexual orientation in a workplace would cause negative consequences. Harassment and discrimination are the major challenges they have to face. Too many LGBT workers have to face judgement based on their sexual preference and gender identity. Furthermore, all these aspects have no impact on an individual’s capability to achieve in a business environment and shouldn’t be looked at like it does.
This source connects to my other sources because it shows how the LGBT community gets treated unequally and the struggles they have to go through.
