What Is LGBTQ+ Discrimination?
Federal law, along with many state and local laws, protects LGBTQ+ individuals from discrimination in the workplace. Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, job discrimination based on sex, including sexual orientation, gender expression or gender identity discrimination, is illegal.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that LGBTQ+ workers have these protections at work. LGBTQ+ discrimination occurs when employers or potential employers treat queer people less favorably because of their LGBTQ+ status.
What Are Examples Of LGBTQ+ Discrimination In The Workplace?
LGBTQ+ employees may experience various forms of discrimination at work, including:
- Losing out on a potential job when there is evidence of LGBTQ+ bias
- Missing out on promotions or raises for being queer
- Receiving unequal pay for equal work
- Experiencing derogatory comments or harassment related to your LGBTQ+ status
- Facing different rules or standards than other employees
