What does LGBTQ discrimination look like?

That’s actually somewhat of a trick question. Oftentimes, it doesn’t “look” like anything — because it’s usually coded and covert.

East goes on to shed light on the invisible ways that homophobia at work takes place. It’s an insightful article into the nuanced ways that bigotry becomes abuse in workplaces.
