“…However, most corporations are found to be more concerned with the reduction of explicit/overt discrimination even when in reality, the occurrences of subtle discrimination are higher. This shows that corporations have been taking a symptom-reduction technique by pursuing only instrumental goals (Ghosh, 2020) where the focus is on legislation and policies. A greater emphasis on expressive goals is needed.…”

“…The higher representation of literature based on the US might be attributed to its long decriminalization history. Also, US organizations are found to pursue both the expressive goals (involve changes in attitudes at a cultural level) and instrumental goals (involving legal formulations, inclusive policy and structural changes in organization) (Ghosh, 2020) for a considerable period in order to make organizations more LGBTQ þ inclusive.…”

PurposeThe inclusion of LGBTQ + persons (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and having other sexual orientations and gender identities) is a crucial step in improving gender diversity in the workplace; however, till date, it remains a significant challenge for human resource management professionals. The current study critically examines this issue of an inclusive workplace for LGBTQ + people through a systematic review of the existing research that has empirically studied their experiences at the workplace. It also examines the resistance and challenges organizations face in LGBTQ + diversity training and provides future research avenues.Design/methodology/approachFor systematically reviewing the literature, Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) model has been used. A total of 101 empirical studies have been reviewed.FindingsThe result shows that LGBTQ + people encounter multiple negative workplace experiences, including proximal (hiring discrimination and housing discrimination) and distal workplace discrimination (unsafe work climate, microaggressions and harassment). These aversive experiences lead to work stress while also mandating that people manage their sexual identity and style of dressing. This stress, in turn, impacts their work–family outcomes, job satisfaction and decision-making with regard to their careers.Originality/valueThe paper provides a holistic understanding of the aversive workplace experiences encountered by sexual minorities.

“…In the past 30-40 years, there have been significant advances toward greater equality for sexual minorities with landmark changes in how both governments and democratic societies treat members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community across the world (Ghosh 2020). From an essentially rights-based perspective, and supported by powerful equality legislation, people are campaigning vigorously through formal and informal groups for what they perceive as a redress of longstanding exclusion and discrimination.…”

Hospitality to difference: LGBT, religious education and the Catholic school

There has been a rise in claims of LGBTI youth in schools generally across the UK with a surge in young people self-identifying. This is a ‘theme’ or ‘matter’ or ‘question’ that has been insufficiently ventilated in relation to the Catholic school. It is shrouded in inhibition, confusion, evasion or fear. Burying our heads in the sand is not helping us move forward and there is a potential political threat to the mission of Catholic schools from failing to engage. A key driver of this paper is the rapidly changing climate of opinion and activism around LGBTI experiences in schools and society. From an essentially rights based perspective, and supported by powerful equality legislation, people are campaigning vigorously through formal and informal groups for what they perceive as a redress of longstanding exclusion and discrimination. The concern in particular for LGBTI rights and recognition for under 18s has inevitably drawn schools into these national debates. Three narratives are worthy of discussion around this theme and are inextricably linked: the legal, theological and pastoral narratives. This paper will consider these and suggest the impact that developments are having on the Catholic school sector, and in particular, the teaching of Religious education.

“…An assessment of extant literature and the increase in the number of Christian denominations that have taken officially lesbian/gay‐affirmative stances (including the Presbyterian Church, the United Methodist Church, the General Board of Church and Society, the Episcopal Church, the United Church of Christ, Justice and Witness Ministries, and the Union of Reform Judaism; Ghosh, in press) suggests that, although some individuals with religious commitments may have negative views of homosexuality, this view is no longer definitive. Qualitative variations between religious faiths and the means of adhering to them suggest a wider range of possibilities.…”

This study examines extant scholarly knowledge on parental acceptance of young lesbian and gay people in traditional heteronormative families. Recent literature shows that parents generally accept their lesbian and gay children. However, parents do not always accept them immediately after they come out. Acceptance takes time, and transitioning to acceptance is often a complex process that depends on parents' access to the necessary resources for coping with the stresses of knowing that their child identifies as lesbian or gay. These resources include counseling or therapy, supportive friends and extended family, and a network of other parents with lesbian and gay children. This study also highlights the need for further research on parental acceptance in nontraditional families and of children with other nonheterosexual identities, such as asexuality, gray ace, bisexuality, or pansexuality. It also calls for an exploration of the complexities of parental acceptance as an ongoing process rather than as a singular event.
