LGBTQ+ Employment Rights

LGBTQ+ employment rights refer to the legal protections that prevent discrimination against individuals based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression in the workplace. In many places, these rights ensure that LGBTQ+ employees cannot be treated unfairly when it comes to hiring, promotions, wages, or termination. Anti-discrimination laws may vary by country or region, but some protections are federally recognized, such as in the U.S. where the Supreme Court ruled in 2020 that discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity is prohibited under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
