A key qutn is whether the differenc wag and choice of employment are driven by prejudice, or whether they are the rult of some nate, work-relevant tras of gay people related to their preferenc or skills. If gay men are paid ls bee of prejudice, then society is not makg the bt e of their skills and productivy. This would be enomilly efficient and would hold back output, bee would suggt that gay men are not makg the ntributn that they uld.

First, rearch om Atralia has shown that gay and lbian workers choose to enter occupatns wh fewer prejudiced workers, wh male-domated occupatns more likely to feature discrimatn.

The Frankl & Marshall Global Barometer of Gay Rights gave 62% of untri a failg gra on legal and social protectns afford to LGBT+ people 2018. One approach is to timate the lost productivy due to discrimatn among gay people, based on rearch om untri where such data are available.
