LGBTI = Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex
This includes:
• Sexual Orientation: a person's sexual identity in relation to the gender to which they are
attracted; the fact of being heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual
• Gender Identity: is one's personal experience of one's own gender. Gender identity can
correlate with assigned sex at birth, or can differ from it.
• Gender Queer (non-binary): gender identities that are not exclusively masculine or
feminine
DEFINITIONS

• Attitudes & laws are changing at a breakneck speed; often for the good, ..sometimes not…
• Hurdles to LGBTI inclusion still exist in many countries, including in Western countries
• Employers are often ill-equipped to look beyond national borders on this topic

LGBTI community to be a credible party for LGBTI workplace inclusion
