Por Adrián Rubli  La discriminación en contra de las personas LGBTQ+ vulnera nuestra dignidad e integridad. Por ello, quienes pertenecemos a esta comunidad ajustamos conscientemente nuestro comportamiento para protegernos de posibles agresiones. Considerar este hecho es, entonces, imprescindible para dimensionar los costos sociales de la discriminación. En un artículo publicado en la revista académica Labour Economics, Emilio Gutiérrez y yo evidenciamos que hay menos personas LGBTQ+ en los sectores laborales menos incluyentes en nuestro país. Aunque resulte difícil dar una interpretación causal, documentarlo es un paso importante para comprender...
