Blogpost 5: The LGBT

LGBT, According to merriam webster, the term refers to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people. This is the common term that use before in year 1990 and up to this present times. Back to history, during the ancient civilization there was reported instance of same sex love and sexuality among some historical figures. Some of them are known to have a relation with their own sex whether it is exclusively or together, while some are have a relation with opposite sex considering that the transgender and the third sex are part of this history. When i browse the net, there is a website titled "INC" with article "LGBT Employees Still Face Discrimination"  by Courtney Rubin stated that " toward equal treatment, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) employees continue frequently to report discrimination and harassment in the workplace" 

According to the article, the William Institute at UCLA law school reported an evidence on employment discrimination based on their sexual orientation and gender identity. Based on the findings of  the report by  federally-funded general survey, show that there are 42% lgbt respondent is experiencing discrimination in their life. The author tells that employment discrimination are common among these people who are open about their gender identity to their workplace than those who are not showing their real identity. The analysis of william institute show that most of the lgbt employee are hiding their real gender identity and get fewer job than the those who are not lgbt and they are paid less. The analysis also tells that these men who are in same sex relationship are are earn less than those men who are in heterosexual marriage. The author also added that  these people who are experiencing employment discrimination is have a higher level of psychological stress and some related health problems, they also experiencing less job satisfaction, they also have the higher rate of absenteeism and they more likely to think of quit in their job because of these discrimination. Why do these people suffer these kind of harm? do they don't have a chance to reach their dream?. For me there's nothing wrong if they work, because sometimes these people are the most intelligent people, because they can immediately think of something that is good for your company. Because for me, i see these people love what they are doing in their life.
