- The number of U.S. adults who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and non-binary continues to increase.
- But according to a new report by digital media company Business.com, identifying as a non-heterosexual and using nonbinary gender pronouns could adversely affect one’s chances of being hired for a job.
- The researchers asked hundreds of nonbinary people to describe the ways in which their gender identities impacted both their job searches and their experiences in the workplace.

“More than 80 percent of nonbinary people believed that identifying as nonbinary would hurt their job search,” says Ryan McGonagill, industry research director at Business.com.
