An Interesting Journey of an LGBTQ Professional

Abstract

LGBTQ individuals represent a diverse spectrum of society, and the community has grown in visibility and profile socially and professionally over the past decade, coupled with a more favourable social environment. Organisational mores and policies have evolved to be more supportive, yet challenges remain. This article focuses on the journey of Neha (name changed to protect privacy), the challenges she faced being perceived as LGBTQ at a marquee Indian organisation, and how she overcame them with the collective support of her peers and organisation.
