LGBTQ+ is an acronym that stands for :
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| L | Lesbian. A woman/woman-aligned person who has a romantic and/or sexual attraction towards people of the same/similar gender might identify as lesbian. |
| G | Gay. A man/man-aligned person who has a romantic and/or sexual attraction towards people of the same/similar gender might identify as gay. *It is also used as a general term by people of any gender identity who are attracted to people of the same/similar gender. |
| B | Bisexual. A person who is romantically and/or sexually attracted to two or more sexes or genders might identify as bisexual. This term exists on a spectrum, so someone who is bisexual may be more attracted to a specific sex or gender. Another term for this is bi. |
| T | Transgender. A person whose gender identity is different from the biological sex they were assigned at birth may identify as transgender. |
| Q | Queer/questioning. The term queer encompasses any gender identity and/or sexual orientation which is not cisgender or heterosexual. |
| + | Plus. This is used to signify all of the gender identities, expressions, sexual orientations and variations in sex characteristics that are not specifically covered by the other five initials. |
This refers to the romantic or sexual attraction a person feels toward others. It could be towards the opposite sex, the same sex, or both. Despite being a minority, people who identify as gay or bisexual still face discrimination.
This refers to a person’s deeply felt, inherent sense of identity, including male, female, transgender, gender neutral, non-binary, agender, pangender, genderqueer, two-spirit, third gender, and all, none or a combination of these. It's sometimes called a person's "inner sense" of gender. When a person's gender identity differs from their assigned sex at birth, they may experience discomfort or face prejudice.
Recently the LGBTQ+ topic has become a new focus in diversity and inclusion initiatives.
But why is LGBTQ+ training important for companies?
LGBTQ training help employees and leaders to understand and address the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ individuals. By raising awareness, challenging stereotypes, and promoting inclusive practices, organizations can create a more welcoming and respectful workplace for everyone. Training of this category benefits LGBTQ employees and helps create a more inclusive, harmonious workplace for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Approximately 8% of the population identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community. That means in a company of 1000 people, around 80 individuals would be part of this group.
Many LGBTQ+ individuals may choose to hide their identity, making it seem like there are fewer of them in the workplace. This can lead to unintentional discrimination or prejudice. LGBTQ+ training is highly recommended not just for new hires, but also for existing employees to create a more inclusive work environment.
When looking to hire more diverse candidates, it can be challenging to know how to support LGBTQ+ employees or create a welcoming environment. By learning how to address potential challenges and participating in workshops, companies can develop a clear approach and respond effectively to situations as they arise.
