Living as an LGBTQ individual can be complicated, especially at work. You have rights, but you are not always protected when it comes to the workplace. While same-sex couples can get married in all states, there are no federal laws that protect LGBTQ individuals from discrimination in the workplace. Fewer than half of the states have laws that protect LGBTQ workers, and several have laws that specifically prohibit this type of protection. Coming out at work is a personal choice but one that can have serious consequences in the wrong environment. Laws will continue to improve for LGBTQ individuals over time, but in the meantime, it's important to keep standing up for who you are, no matter what. LGBTQ at Work: Your Personal and Working Life provides the tools and knowledge to make your own informed decisions.
