New Research Reveals – One in four people conceal their sexuality in the workplace

The report, entitled “Through our Eyes”, researches the experience and perceptions of LGB people in Northern Ireland’s workplace regarding equality and diversity. Key findings include: 

• Over 40% of respondents from the private and public sectors have heard negative comments about LGB people from colleagues in the workplace; 

• More than one in four respondents from the public and private sector conceal their sexual orientation in the workplace; 

• Over 30% of respondents across all workplace sectors would not, or don’t know if they would, feel comfortable approaching management for support if they were victim of homophobic bullying at work, and 

• More than one in four respondents across all workplace sectors have had reason to make a complaint relating to their sexual orientation. 

“Through Our Eyes” is the second in a series of research reports conducted by The Rainbow Project. Full details on this research can be found on The Rainbow Project’s website: www.rainbow-project.org/aboutus/publications.
