Harassment based on sexual orientation can create a hostile and unsafe work environment, where LGBTQ+ employees face unfair and unequal treatment, lower self-esteem, reduced motivation, increased stress, poor mental health, and lower career satisfaction and advancement.

This type of behavior - if not stopped - can also harm the organization, as it can lead to lower productivity, innovation, and performance, as well as higher turnover, absenteeism, and legal risk.
