Understanding LGBTQ Employment Discrimination

"If you want to make the world a more equal place, you need to understand the tools."
Contrary to popular belief, the dismal science has terrific power to help people. In this interview, Marina Gorsuch explains her experiments with discrimination in employment expectations and labor outcomes, and why students should consider economics as so much more than a pathway to higher pay.

    I have been a victim in the work place. We did a activity to get to know each other at work and co workers went around and asked what we liked to do on our free time and one straight person said I have movie night with my husband on the weekends and I said I like to take walks with my wife and was pulled into a meeting and was told not to talk about my sexuality because it was inappropriate. I don't think every work place is like this but unfortunately it does exist. I hope one day we can live in a world that promotes equality and acceptance.

    Her work to uncover this bias in employing people is much needed. The reality is often getting denied. This has nothing to do with being victim. These seem to be objective studies which shine a light on bias. It is not a victim mentality to call out & address bias.

    With respect I have a honest question. I work with the IT community and I have presented teams that I work with a specific problem and ask them to formulate an answer. The problem is that there is a meeting discussing a software development project that currently has a rather serious bug. During this discussion a particular person gets offended. They start to make an argument about the offense. (And here's my question...... What should the manager say that would diffuse the situation and get the team back on task?) Any responses would be very appreciated. Thank you

    I'm offended by the rainbow flag usage. I don't expect it to change but it is offensive. I am also offended by the constant push in my daily life that I am suppose to care at work about lgbtq issues. I am also offended they have homosexual literature in schools, and I am offended that corporations won't stop wasting my time talking about this supposed problem, but doesn't take any real problems serious. I love gay people, this is not about them, it is about the culture of telling me what I should care about, but discounting what real problems exist. Discrimination exists on many levels, even down to personality traits. All these companies and government is doing is trying to prevent lawsuits, they don't care about these issues either. Just like politicians who say they want to help them pretend they can't fix the problem once in power. Stop pushing narratives on people. Your dividing not unifying. Call out wrong when it happens, don't beat the drum until we go crazy. Sexual preference should have no place being discussed in outward society, it is a private matter. Just like if I want to do things to my girlfriend or wife at home in the bedroom. I don't want people beating a drum about details of ethical bedroom behavior for heterosexuals over and over again, meanwhile things are happening to homosexuals that isn't good. No difference in sexuality, it is how your going about it.

    Well, let's say that you have a work party and that your romantic partner is invited. Do you not bring them with you because people at the job will know that you're gay? Do you hide them to not offend people who are straight? That right there is a practical case of why these issues should matter. U don't have to think about it 24/7, but u can look at your workplace and ask yourself: is anyone gonna have a problem if they show up as their authentic self at work?

    The fact that homosexual men trigger a revulsion response in straight men could be a contributing factor. This is a natural response and will be overlooked or miscategorized as something that needs to change.

    I will be disliked for this, but why are the applications of employment getting more confusing? Why ask about orientation or pronouns? It's as simple as male or female. Anything beyond is confusion. Ijs. It should be simple. We are complicating things. 😢 Jesus made it very simple. ❤
