“…Nevertheless, it can be a tiring and stressful endeavour to constantly have to be educating others on discrimination as well as having to resist the pressure to conform. (Mara et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Restricting disclosure of one’s sexual identity may give the individual some control over how included they feel in the workplace as they can decide with whom they would feel comfortable talking about themselves. However, concealing one’s identity has been found to negatively affect employees’ feelings of wellbeing and belongingness in the company, while disclosure has been found to be associated with higher job satisfaction and lower job anxiety (DeSouza et al, 2017 ; Mara et al, 2021 )…”

“…Instead comprehensive training that emphasizes values such as the meaning behind equality legislation in relation to SGM individuals, the facts and common myths about SGM individuals, and why issues and concerns faced by SGM individuals is a workplace issue for all, are important aspects of work inclusion policies (Vasquez del Aguila & Cantillon, 2010 ). Hence, when employers engage in educating others, in being proactive about SGM inclusion such as through attending professional conferences on SGM, as well as by serving as a role model, the rights of SGM employees are highly likely to be promoted and protected (Mara et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Despite calls for SGM workplace discrimination to be central to research on human resource management, very little has been done to voice the experiences of SGM individuals in the workforce (Ozturk & Tatli, 2016 ). As policy strategies are not equally available in all contexts, there is a need not just for the acceptance and understanding of SGM people at the individual level, but also for companies, society and the political system to get involved and expand their freedoms and labour rights (Mara et al, 2021 ). Furthermore, many problems faced by SGM individuals originate within frameworks that anti-discrimination policies reinforce.…”

“I Don’t Even Want to Come Out”: the Suppressed Voices of Our Future and Opening the Lid on Sexual and Gender Minority Youth Workplace Discrimination in Europe: a Qualitative Study

Introduction In Europe, young sexual and gender minority (SGM) people continue to face discrimination in the labour sector despite advances in legislation towards their acceptance and equal treatment. Non-discrimination policy strategies helping SGM individuals are not equally enforced in all contexts, making it difficult for many SGM individuals to disclose their identity, hence undermining their health and well-being. Methods Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted between October 2020 and February 2021 with 55 SGM youth (18–27 years) having work experience from Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain and the UK. Results From the analysis, three overarching themes were significant: (1) societal discrimination played a major role in sociocultural factors and policy considerations, (2) workplace discrimination had distinct factors and impacts on SGM individuals and (3) SGM inclusion should use strategies to ensure workplace diversity and equality. Conclusions SGM individuals from contexts of poor acceptance tended to hide their identity in the workplace, while transgender and non-binary individuals were prone to experience force-disclosure and discrimination in all aspects of employment. There is a lack of resolute reaction from policy makers in managing problems faced by SGM people in workplaces. New laws improving the status of SGM people need to be further adopted, staff training should be implemented, and managers are crucial in achieving an inclusive climate in the workplace. Policy Implications It is essential to implement policies on how to effectively handle problems faced by sexual and gender minority people in the workplace.

“…McDavitt et al (2008) reported that emotion regulation is an essential coping against gender stigma. Mara et al (2020) furthered that coping may be internal, external, reactive, and proactive. These coping mechanisms provide insights into how pre-service Criminologists deal with the different forms of gender issues confronting them.…”

Access to and success in higher education is shaped by various factors, including, but are not limited to, gender, gendered identities, and gender-related subjectivities. While there has been rich literature in gender-higher education nexus, the utilization of gender analysis in specific gender-stereotyped degree programs such as Criminology, although widely offered in the entire country, remains understudied. Recognizing the impressive progress of enterprising and mainstreaming GAD norms in the Philippines compared to its peers in Asia, there remains a need to understand how gender sets in motion beyond rhetoric and how it entangles everyday practices. This study attempts to interrogate the Criminology program’s temporal development and social determinants from the lenses of gender through trend analysis and in-depth interview methods.We found that Criminology in DOrSU is significantly male-dominated since the program commenced operations in 2009. Although unsurprising, it is worth noting that females record a higher survival rate than males. The latent gender issues and coping strategies contributing to the program’s notable trendwere also uncovered, providing a more comprehensive understanding of females and other non-masculine genders’ narrowed access to the program. To tighten the existing gender gap in Criminology, we recommend a policy reform that encourages gender-inclusive opportunities.

Despite the significant research on the impact of social media in people's lives, little is known about the extent to which social media impacts on compulsive buying behaviour (CBB). Moreover, previous studies of this relationship sampled heterosexual or non-sexually identified populations. This study addresses this gap in knowledge by examining the impact of social media use and its addiction on CBB, together with the moderating influence of self-efficacy (SEF), through a comparative analysis of heterosexual and LGBT+ consumers. The results reveal that LGBT+ consumers are significantly more prone to both addictions than heterosexuals, but that social media addiction (SMA) has a stronger impact on CBB amongst heterosexuals. Moreover, SEF has a non-significant influence on CBB amongst both heterosexual and LGBT+ consumers and does not significantly moderate the impact of SMA on compulsive buying behaviour in either sample. Furthermore, the findings suggest that both heterosexual and LGBT+ non-compulsive consumers could be vulnerable to compulsive buying addiction through social media exposure and the fear of missing out.
