WORKERS who identify as LGBT are “lowering their expectations of working life to cope with ongoing discrimination and harassment,” according to a damning TUC study published today.

The report, coinciding with the end of Pride Month and the start of the union body’s two-day annual LGBT+ conference in London, reveals that despite improvements, all LGBT staff surveyed could “easily recall recent instances of workplace homophobia, biphobia and transphobia.”

Many workers feel “lucky” if they have inclusive managers and colleagues and “grateful” if basic equality standards are met, it warned.
