Gay, lbian, and bisexual workers also face sexualy-specific strsors at work, such as fear of g out [11] or experienc of heterosexist discrimatn [12, 13], that n ntribute to psychologil distrs, anxiety, and prsn.

Dpe major chang laws and norms surroundg the issue of same-sex marriage and the rights of LGBT people around the world, public opn on the acceptance of homosexualy society remas sharply divid by untry, regn and enomic velopment. For example, some untri, those who are affiliated wh a relig group tend to be ls acceptg of homosexualy than those who are unaffiliated (a group sometim referred to as relig “non”).
For example, Swen, the Netherlands and Germany, all of which have a per-pa gross domtic product over $50, 000, acceptance of homosexualy is among the hight measured across the 34 untri surveyed. The study is a follow-up to a 2013 report that found many of the same patterns as seen today, although there has been an crease acceptance of homosexualy across many of the untri surveyed both years. However, while took nearly 15 years for acceptance to rise 13 pots om 2000 to jt before the feral legalizatn of gay marriage June 2015, there was a near equal rise acceptance jt the four years sce legalizatn.

This staggerg 56-pot difference exceeds the next largt difference Japan by 20 pots, where 92% and 56% of those ag 18 to 29 and 50 and olr, rpectively, say homosexualy should be accepted by society. In South Korea, for example, those who classify themselv on the iologil left are more than twice as likely to say homosexualy is acceptable than those on the iologil right (a 39-percentage-pot difference).
In Spa, people wh a favorable opn of the Vox party, which recently has begun to oppose some gay rights, are much ls likely to say that homosexualy is acceptable than those who do not support the party. And Poland, supporters of the erng PiS (Law and Jtice), which has explicly targeted gay rights as anathema to tradnal Polish valu, are 23 percentage pots ls likely to say that homosexualy should be accepted by society than those who do not support the erng party. But even untri like France and Germany where acceptance of homosexualy is high, there are differenc between supporters and non-supporters of key right-wg populist parti such as Natnal Rally France and Alternative for Germany (AfD).

Background The last two s have wnsed a nsirable growth the lerature focg on LGBTQ2S+ employment, labour market equaly, and e. Durg the same perd, Canada has emerged as a trailblazer employment protectns for both sexual and genr mori. Unfortunately, the Canadian lerature on LGBTQ2S+ employment out and experienc is disperse and unrveloped. Objective This paper brgs together this disperse rearch and provis the first systematic review of Canada’s LGBTQ2S+ employment and earngs lerature. Methods We start wh a systematic review and thematic synthis of the broadly fed lerature on LGBTQ2S+ poverty Canada. We e a thematic synthis to isolate the LGBTQ2S+ lerature on employment, labour market equaly, and earngs. Our search of electronic databas took place April 2018 and was updated January 2019. Rults A total of 532 abstracts and full texts were screened by reviewers, which rulted 84 articl clud our fal sample. The articl were then sorted by keywords and those pertag to employment, labour market equaly, and e (n = 31) were clud this analysis. While timat of sexual mory wage gaps vary pendg on the data and methods ed, most studi have found wage penalti for gay men and wage premiums for lbians, relative to their heterosexual unterparts. The lerature on bisexual employment is particularly snt but fds that bisexual men and women also earn ls than their heterosexual unterparts. Rearch on the subjective workplace experienc of LGBTQ2S+ dividuals fd unique challeng, barriers and, at tim, excln om the Canadian labour market. Conclns and implitns While the lerature on LGBTQ2S+ employment out and experienc Canada is growg, much is left unknown. The prcipal limatn for rearchers ntu to be the arth of populatn-based surveys that clu qutns on sexual orientatn, genr inty, and relevant employment characteristics. To date, few studi have explored employment out or the subjective workplace experienc of bisexuals, transgenr, two-spir or other genr mory peopl. * gay labour peer *
In 25 of the 34 untri surveyed, those who say relign is “somewhat, ” “not too” or “not at all” important their liv are more likely to say that homosexualy should be accepted than those who say relign is “very” important. Among Israelis, those who say relign is not very important their liv are almost three tim more likely than those who say relign is very important to say that society should accept homosexualy.
For example, those who are religly unaffiliated, sometim lled relig “non, ” (that is, those who intify as atheist, agnostic or “nothg particular”) tend to be more acceptg of homosexualy.
Though the opns of religly unaffiliated people n vary wily, virtually every untry surveyed wh a sufficient number of unaffiliated rponnts, “non” are more acceptg of homosexualy than the affiliated.

KEIR MATHER: LABOUR’S OUT GAY WNER OF SELBY AND ASTY BY-ELECTN IS YOUNGT MP PARLIAMENT
Usg the 2003 and 2005 Canadian Communy Health Survey (CCHS), he found that gay men had personal that were 12% ls than heterosexual men and lbians had personal that were 15% higher than heterosexual women. Cerf [19] argued that sgle gay men’s workplace strs may be associated wh anxiety about disclosg their sexualy; whereas, upled gay men are more likely to be open about their sexual orientatn at work.
Although this method for intifyg gay men and lbians was subject to nsirable bias, was the only method available at the time bee Statistics Canada did not start gatherg rmatn on same-sex upl until 2001. Usg the 2006 Canadian Cens, Wae and Denier [37] found tertg soc-mographic, human pal and occupatnal differenc between upled gay men and lbians, relative to their heterosexual unterparts.
