<br />
Mental disorders are now recognized as a leading health issue in today's world. This has not always been the case as the stigma of mental health isolated many and society shied away from support. The World Health Organization reported that in 2019 one in every 8 individuals, or 970 million people, lived with a mental disorder. These range from anxiety, eating disorders, and depression to post-traumatic stress, neurodevelopment disorders, and schizophrenia. <br />
<br />
Socio-economic factors play a big role in determining the mental health of the LGBTQ community. These include social inclusion, freedom from discrimination and violence, and economic stability and well-being. All of these are challenges faced by the LGBTQ community, as they are by most minority groups. The American Psychiatric Association reports that LGBTQ individuals are more than twice as likely as heterosexual men and women to have a mental disorder in their lifetime - half have experienced depression,<br />
and three in five have experienced anxiety. <br />
<br />
Mental health challenges are particularly prevalent in the transgender community. Lack of support from friends and family engender feelings of isolation and transgender individuals continually face threats of physical violence and harm, bias, discrimination, prejudice, and more. <br />
<br />
A key advance in the progress of the LGBTQ community and mental health has been the declassification of homosexuality as a mental illness. Gay individuals [[Richard Green]] and [[John Richard Nichols]] were at the forefront of this activism in the United States. Other countries have followed their lead. Of pressing concern to the community now is the banning of conversion therapy. <br />
<br />
There are many LGBTQ psychologists and psychiatrists on our list. Others are activists, politicians, charity leaders, writers, and health administrators. <br />

<br />
The global energy sector is important in today's economy. Estimates suggest that in 2018, global energy investment reached around $1.85 trillion. Other figures estimate that global oil and gas exploration and production is the 8th largest industry in the world by revenue, worth $2.7 trillion in 2021. The energy sector includes electricity, oil and gas, coal, solar power, clean energy, and more. <br />
<br />
The sector also employs a significant amount of labour around the world, estimated to be 65 million individuals by the International Energy Agency. Many of these come from the LGBTQ community. For example, a 2021 report from Australia’s Clean Energy Council reported that 13% of the clean energy industry’s personnel identified as LGBTQ.<br />
<br />
The energy industry is being challenged on its lagging Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives. For example, a 2022 survey by Pride in Energy in the UK revealed a 40% increase in LGBTQ+ discrimination in the energy industry since 2021.<br />
<br />
Several LGBTQ organizations have been formed to address these issues in the sector. Pride in Energy UK is a diversity forum and network for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender members of the energy industry and their allies. As noted above, the group conducts an annual survey of members which assesses the state of workplace representation and acceptance. Out in Energy in the United States is a similar organization serving as a community development and visibility incubator for LGBTQ+ professionals working in the energy and climate sectors in that country. In Australia, the main driver of inclusion nationally and across all industries is ACON and the group’s Pride Inclusion Programs. Nuclear Pride brings together the LGBTQ community in the nuclear energy industry.<br />

<br />
Transportation and automobile sectors are a global industry that is one of the largest economic sectors. Statista reports that the global automotive manufacturing market alone was worth about 2.86 trillion U.S. dollars in 2021 and is projected to grow to some 2.95 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022. It is an intensive technology user that leads innovation, directly employs 13.58 million people (2020), and supports many indirect jobs through suppliers and other affiliates. <br />
<br />
According to Community Marketing Insights, most LGBTQ and general population studies tend to range from 82% to 88% for car ownership in 2020 (CMI research in the past three years puts the range from 82 percent to 85 percent for LGBTQ). Their brand preference, in order of favourite, is Toyota, Honda, Ford, Subaru, Chevrolet, Nissan, Jeep, Hyundai, Volkswagen, and Kia. Some 43 percent of LGBTQ individuals would have an interest in purchasing an electric vehicle. <br />
<br />
Many automotive suppliers have diversity initiatives to encourage LGBTQ and other minority communities to participate. Sadly, though, car ads are still dominated by heterosexual couples with the man in a dominant position. Many repair shops retain attitudes which make them even hostile to women and LGBT people. The CMI survey reports about half of LGBTQ participants (48%) were able to think of an auto brand that they consider to be LGBTQ-friendly but only Subaru registered significant brand recognition among the LGBTQ community. <br />
<br />
We have identified the following prominent LGBTQ individuals in the Transportation, Transit, and Logistics sector. They range from industry executives and journalists, to political ministers and consultants.<br />
