    That has led groups to make chang to qutns to remove heterosexual altogether and start the optns wh gay or lbian to better prompt people. “Straight” or even “not gay or lbian” have been put place of heterosexual to ga more accurate rults.

    Intertgly, works two different directns: most studi show a wage penalty for gay men but a wage premium for lbian women pared wh their heterosexual unterparts. One analysis of 32 studi om several untri found that on average, gay men earned 11% ls than heterosexual men, while lbian women earned 9% more than heterosexual women. Wh the data on gay people, there are also variatns between untri and pendg on how exactly sexual orientatn is classified, for example whether ’s based on survey evince or habatn – and there are studi such as this one om the US that found gay men actually earng more.

    One possible explanatn is the work choic that gay people make. Rearch suggts gay men are more likely to avoid occupatns that are more male-domated than other men (which clus the bt paid jobs), while lbian women are more likely to avoid female-domated occupatns than other women (which are typilly worse paid). But why do gay people enter different profsns?
