Preferred term

sexual orientation and careers  

Definition

  • Although gay men and lesbians constitute between 4 percent and 17 percent of the workforce, a larger proportion than many other minority groups, they remain an understudied population that is often “invisible” in the careers literature. It is important to understand the unique challenges faced by lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals in the workplace and to appreciate how these challenges influence their career decisions, paths, and processes.
