In this consortium, social scientists, legal scholars, and humanities scholars collaborate with each other and with stakeholders from industry and civil society with the aim to contribute to solving the apparent discordance between the requirement for privacy and the need for inclusion in organisations. By discussing the establishment of this consortium, we hope to both inspire others to undertake similar collaborations and to share our reflections on what is needed to successfully bridge the gap between academia and practice.

Show moreOver the last 30 years, more than 85 countries have prohibited sexual orientation discrimination in employment. Enacting such legal prohibitions has thereby become the most common form of legal recognition of homosexual orientation (more so than the decriminalisation of homosexual sex or the opening up of family law to same-sex partners). The trend is global (ten countries in Africa, more in Asia/Oceania, many in Europe and the Americas). The trend is reflected in supranational rules of the European Union and the Organisation of American States and also in decisions of international human rights bodies. On the basis of these numbers and developments, and in light of the various factors that help explain the strength of this global trend, the author argues that it is to be expected that the trend will continue to reach more and more countries. Explicit legal prohibitions of sexual orientation discrimination in employment can play a useful – perhaps central – role amongst other legal, educational, and social strategies aimed at increasing LGB inclusion.This article in the Dutch Journal for Gender Studies (Tijdschrift voor Genderstudies, https://www.aup-online.com/content/journals/13883186) is based on a presentation the author gave at the international conference on LGBTIQ+ Workplace Inclusion (Leiden University, 20-21 May 2021).
