A new study has found that members of the LGBT+ community in Britain, earn an average of £7,000 pounds less than their straight counterparts, annually. The study that found this average, surveyed over 4,000 people. Nearly two-thirds of study participants stated that they have felt uncomfortable about their sexuality or gender identity- perhaps businesses should do more to ensure that they are cultivating an inclusive workplace for all of their employees.
