Abstract:
Despite the monumental legal gains made in recent years, the workplace can still be a stigmatizing and unsafe place for LGB individuals. LGB individuals spend a large amount of their adult lives at work, which often means they spend a lot of their time being in the minority. This conceptual article discusses the ways in which enacted stigmatization and stigma consciousness have an adverse impact on job satisfaction of LGB employees. Recommendations for human resources professionals and organizational leaders are provided.
