Why do companies ask if you are LGBTQ+?

By Zippia Team - Dec. 7, 2022

The vast majority of companies will ask if you're LGBTQ+ to ensure you receive fair treatment. For example, being aware of your identity will allow them to provide appropriate access to benefits like fertility planning by same-sex spouses, family leave, and transgender healthcare coverage.

Though, if you suspect a company is asking for unjust or discriminatory reasons, you have every right not to answer.
