  Since you mention LGBT issues I can give one example from my country. In Ireland being gay is legal and generally well accepted. LGBT groups exist on every campus, we have openly gay politicians and (limited) civil partnerships. However one of the reasons some people keep their sexual orientation private is to avoid employment problems if they work in education. Under the scope of "ethos" religious schools can deny employment to whomever they see fit as they have a opt-out in equality laws[1]. Obvious examples would be discrimination against non-Catholics, divorced and LGBT people. Unfortunately the Catholic Church controls 93%+ of primary level schools and the vast majority of second level schools. Although this law is being openly debated, challenged legally and expected to change soon, it still leaves people living in fear. I personally know one person in this unfortunate position.
