France: openness about being LGBTQI at work by orientation

In 2019, 23 percent of French lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people reported being very open about their sexual orientation/identity at work, while half reported being selectively open. The most likely to be very open about their sexual orientation were gay men (34 percent), and lesbian women (30 percent). In contrast, while just over a quarter of LGBTQI people said they hid their sexual identity/orientation at work, this was the case for 57 percent of bisexual men, and nearly half of intersex people.
