Do You Think You Were Denied Employment or Promo. Because You Are Gay? 1 in 10 do

        

One in 10 LGBT workers in the U.S. experienced discrimination at their jobs in the past year, including getting fired or not being hired because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, according to a UCLA study.

Lead author Brad Sears says the results are unexpected given how much progress the LGBT community had made in recent years.

"This was a little bit surprising because of the rapid advances in public support for LGBT people and this historic Supreme Court decision in the summer of 2020 that declared such workplace discrimination illegal," Sears said.
