Abstract
The career development of lesbian, gay and bisexual people is under-researched, especially in the UK. In this paper I begin by attempting to quantify and describe this group of people before exploring how LGB young people develop an identity in a heteronormative, and often oppressive, environment. I then provide a partial overview of the (mostly American) literature regarding LGB careers, including why and how LGB people choose certain occupations and the largely stereotyped nature of those decisions. I also explore how being LGB affects people at work. Finally, I offer some suggestions for career guidance practice with LGB individuals.
