Abstract

Diese aktuelle Studie untersucht die Arbeitssituation von lesbischen Frauen in Deutschland. Dabei vergleicht sie die Erfahrungen erwerbstätiger lesbischer Frauen mit denen heterosexueller Frauen und untersucht Diskriminierung im Bewerbungsverfahren von Berufseinsteigerinnen. Die Ergebnisse eines Experiments mit Bewerbungen zeigen, dass lesbische Frauen schon zu Berufsbeginn in Einstellungsverfahren Diskriminierung erleben, indem sie z.B. seltener zu Interviews eingeladen werden. Ein wichtiges Ergebnis einer gleichfalls durchgeführten Befragung unter lesbischen und heterosexuellen Frauen zeigt, dass lesbische Frauen in ihrem Arbeitsumfeld stärker Diskriminierung aufgrund des Geschlechts als Diskriminierung aufgrund der sexuellen Identität erleben.
