摘要

In Italy, heterosexuality has historically been regarded as the ‘norm’, fostering heteronormativity and heterosexism, which have led to the discrimination of lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals. This chapter examines the workplace conditions for these groups, analysing the role of social movement organizations (SMOs), trade unions, and companies in legitimizing lesbian and gay identities, while also acknowledging opposing forces, such as the Catholic Church.
