LGBT WORKPLACE INEQUALITY IN THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE: INTERSECTIONAL PROCESSES, ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXTS, AND TURNOVER CONSIDERATIONS
How do lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) employees fare in US workplaces? Beyond formal discrimination, do LGBT workers encounter biases that degrade the quality of their day-today workplace experiences? Using a representative sample of more than 300,000 employees in 28 ‘‘best case’’ organizations—federal agencies with LGBT-inclusive policies—the authors examine not only whether these informal workplace inequalities occur but also
