Sexual orientation seems to affect earning prospects and job satisfaction, a study shows.
Research by Nick Drydakis at Anglia Ruskin University found gay men on average earn 9% less compared to heterosexual men.
However, lesbians on average earn 12% more compared to heterosexual women.
Even in countries in the EU, Australia, Canada and the US, which have the strongest anti-discrimination laws, gay and lesbian people experienced more obstacles in getting a job, earning bias and harassment than their counterparts.
