Madam, – I am undertaking postgraduate research regarding the workplace experiences of LGBT people in Ireland. One of the challenges of such research is in hearing all LGBT voices – out in the workplace. Readers who are interested can access the survey directly at: www.surveymonkey.com/lgbtworkplacesurveyireland.
There may come a time in the Irish workplace where one’s unique identity, ranging from sexual orientation through physical appearance, is never seen as something that’s up for grabs by others, no matter the manner in which this is couched.
In the interim, knowing where we stand with regard to the LGBT workplace experience is a start. It is for us together to figure out what to do once this basis is established. – Yours, etc,
