Jobs with Pride: https://www.JobsWithPride.com https://www.JobsWithPride.com Premise: Handpicked jobs from LGBTQ+ friendly companies. It's a curated job board of the best jobs for our queer community, using publicly available information to source jobs at confirmed LGBTQ+ friendly companies - Verified by our 100% LGBTQ+ team. Availability: Web Price: $0 (Paid packages are available) Cost to me: ~$100 per month Why do it? - Finding jobs at LGBTQ+ friendly companies is hard, clunky, and time consuming - More than a 3rd of LGBTQ+ people feel they need to hide who they are at work - 1 in 3 employers won’t hire a Trans person - The LGBTQ+ community has kept me alive before, this is a small way I can payback the love

This might sound dumb, but aren't most corproate employers completely accepting of LGBT people these days (well, LGB people at least)? What makes one company LGBT friendly and another not?

  If only that was the case, specific industries are far worse than others as you'd imagine. Anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric is also currently growing in the United States. As far as the definition of "friendly" is concerned, that is a spectrum so I imagine we need the creator to respond.

    Oh, I can definitely imagine issues being a gay man on a construction site, or something like that. What sort of professional industries are homophobic, though? Genuinely asking, not trying to disagree or minimise what you're saying.

      This discussion should probably be much, much longer... but I'll give you my take based on my experience as a queer person having worked in MANY industries from service to technology to government to private to recruiting/hiring to consultancy ad nauseum. Generally it's not an industry or company that is homophobic but a person. This is why we have created nondiscrimination policies to protect from unlawful termination. It can be illegal, based on where you live, to fire someone based on Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity, but there are unfortunately many ways to subvert those rules. 93% of all Fortune 500 have a Sexual Orientation Nondiscrimination Policies, I'd say that's pretty good but that's only for Sexual Orientation. As you move down in revenue below the wealthiest companies, they are less nondiscrimination policies in place. Even some companies that claim to be LGBTQ+ friendly. So you can see why someone who has grown as a pariah and then later accepted by the majority of companies (because duh, money) would be skeptical of any company protecting their livelihood. That is only one example of how a company can be LGBTQ+ friendly, another one that comes to mind is partner benefits (permission to attend company functions, relocation expenses, etc.). I personally have been prevented from attending a company dinner with my partner. Again, this is just my take and I don't speak for everyone but I'm really happy to see a Job Board like this!

        If it's generally not a company that is homophobic then how can some companies be LGBQ freindly?

        Some companies actively enforce their rules on discrimination and/or bullying due to homophobia, some turn a blind eye.

        >I personally have been prevented from attending a company dinner with my partner. Wow, that's insane. I'm not even sure that would be legal here in Melbourne.
