    Hi sss!

    Yes. I reported him and took him to court, because in the UK it is against the law, the same way as racism is in the workplace.

    I won.

    Please tell us - your age, country you live in and what happened / is happening?

    Hugssssss

    I'm not out and never will be at work. My bf dropped me off at work the other day and I had to tell them he was my Uber driver

    I am the boss at work but not out although i think my secretary has figured it out.

    I suspect one of the girls in the office is lesbian and I am constantly on the alert for any discrimination against her but I have never heard any. I would come down on any discrimination like a ton of bricks.

    Hi! I'm not working...I'm 18 and still in skl but I'm from the Caribbean(Trinidad) and we don't have any laws against dicrimination against LGBT persons sadly so I'll definitely not be out in the workplace.

    I'm not working yet (still in school) and since no one but my closest friends (and my crush) knows that I'm bi no one has really been rude to me just because I like girls... I think that I will come out at school sometime, but it might not be until next year or even high school.

    I've been out at every job I've had for almost twenty-five years and I've never had an issue.
