Workplace discrimination against LGBT

Introduction

In the past few decades, gays, lesbians and transgender has become a topic that increasingly discussed and debated among social theorists. Indeed, sex and desire have become the focus of intense social-theoretical, philosophical and feminist fascination, and it is against this backcloth that social theorists have sought to rethink the constitution and reproduction of sexualities, bodies, pleasures, desires, impulses, sensations and affects. How to think sexuality beyond the constraints of culture is a question that is increasingly crucial to the possibilities of political radicalism today. The cultural prompting for this turn towards sexuality in social theory is not too difficult to discern.

The politics of identity, sexual diversity, postmodern feminism or post-feminism, gay and lesbian identities, the crisis of personal relationships and family life, AIDS, sexual ethics and responsibilities of care, respect and love: these are core aspects of our contemporary sexual dilemmas (Williams, 2003).

It was conducted "verification" telephone hotline in Novosibirsk, where the phone was trying to impress a consultant to the subscriber that homosexuality is pathological. The fact that there are differences between experts, who can be trusted to be safe, no doubt, but often most of them are deficient in psychological and psychotherapeutic education that promotes passive assistance to people of homosexual orientation in an attempt to confront the prejudices of traditional culture.
