That said, we also saw in a lot of research that members of the LGBTQ+ community disproportionately feared losing ground during the crisis. They felt isolated and struggled with mental-health issues brought about by the pandemic more than some other groups. LGBTQ+ women are also more than twice as likely as straight women to feel as though they cannot talk about themselves or their life outside work—and more likely than straight women or LGBTQ+ men to report they feel as though they need to provide more evidence of their competence. All of those elements come together for an intersection of risk,” says Josh Miller, co-founder of Empathy Paradigm, a Dallas, Texas-based LGBTQ mental-health consultancy that offers coming out and allyship coaching. “There are so many good consequences to coming out, but are you prepared for the bad ones?”They won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1983, they were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 1994, and they have sold over 30 million albums worldwide.

On 13 February 2009, former Men at Work band member Ron Strykert was arrested for allegedly making death threats against Hay. [39] [40] Four years later, Strykert and Hay had a significant falling out over song royalties. And two years after that, Strykert was arrested after having madedeath threats against Hay, a charge the guitarist denied.These barriers likely contribute to the fact that trans people are much more likely to frequently think about leaving their company (32 percent versus 21 percent of cisgender people), and they are more likely to expect to stay at their current company for less than a year (18 percent versus 8 percent of cisgender people). This underrepresentation increases the likelihood that LGBTQ+ women will feel isolated at work. With so few others like them, they are more likely to represent their entire group when they’re the only one like themselves in meetings or events. BME people were more likely to have had negative experiences, specifically the intersection of multiple discriminations. My office is using the word ‘gay’ as an insult or a slang term.

Dolly, babes, we can relate.Many people at the intersections of multiple systems of oppression – particularly people of colour in majority-white contexts – also experience constant identity policing. “My race is politicised, who I sleep with is politicised and if it doesn’t fit into that box that white supremacy is comfortable with, then you’ve got to question your whole self,” says Benton.
