In 2018, The Supreme court gave a historic judgment by decriminalizing Section 377 of the IPC and ruled that consensual adult gay sex is not a crime saying sexual orientation is natural and people have no control on it. However, still after 5 years there exists a significant gap between the judgment and the extent Indian workplaces have been successful in ensuring a discrimination-free environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) employees. Thus, addressing this gap, the present study explored the acceptance and the discrimination at workplace experiences encountered by Indian LGBT+ employees. The present study was conducted on the basis of extensive literature review. Quantitative data was taken into consideration from the attitude scale questionnaire measuring development of Attitudes Towards Homosexuality for Indians, a 20-item scale will be used to understand the attitude of working professionals from the IT Sector and hospitality sector towards homosexuals. Analysis was made on the basis of the data collected through the questionnaire. The study suggested a significant level of acceptance and support for the LGBT community among the respondents, with the majority advocating for equal rights and opportunities. However, there is still resistance and discomfort, particularly regarding certain social interactions and perceptions about homosexuality. This paper discusses the acceptance of non-LGBT people, discriminatory treatment, issues, problems faced by LGBT community individuals at workplace.
