Closures of and cuts at the LGBT+ press and websites are depriving the community of familiar spaces for advice, belonging and advocacy.

Guidelines being drawn up by the NUJ’s Ethics Council will be supported by the TUC LGBT committee and other unions, following a debate at the TUC LGBT+ conference.

LGBT+ workers are lowering their expectations of working life to cope with discrimination and harassment, according to a report based on interviews with a diverse range of LGBT+ people and union reps.

Almost one-third (29 per cent) of the NUJ members surveyed during February’s LGBT+ History month and in the run up to the TUC’s LGBT+ conference said they had experienced bullying, harassment, ill-treatment or discrimination at work as a result of their sexuality or gender identity.
