FAITH CHELTENHAM Workplace Discrimination Series LIFE EXPERIENCES

WORKPLACE PRACTICES The conventional belief is that if I come out as a bisexual woman, I must be asking for something, such as sexual assault, harassment, or discrimination.

NASTY Faith Cheltenham describes how she EXPERIENCES was subjected to sexual harassment at work after coming out to her coworkers as bisexual; even her supervisor accused her of requesting sexually suggestive comments from colleagues. She also discusses the unfairness she encountered at work in addition to her experiences as a black bisexual woman, which was made more challenging by the \"multiplier impact\" of prejudice and discrimination based on both race and sexual orientation.

According to Faith Cheltenham In the workplace or elsewhere, no one should ever feel as though they are \"begging\" for discrimination, harassment, or sexual assault. Unfortunately, a lot of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people are led to feel that their sexual orientation and gender identity make them deserving of prejudice.

BACKGROUND LGBT employees are less productive at work when they are subjected to verbal or physical harassment or discrimination based only on their sexual orientation and gender identity. What's worse is that, in most cases, this persistent harassment may make LGBT employees fear for their safety. When a person is merely trying to contribute to society, they shouldn't have to work in a hostile environment.
