Imagine applying for your dream job – only to know that once the recruiter sees your name you will never hear back.
The flat you hoped to rent suddenly becomes “unavailable” the moment the landlord meets you face to face.
At school, no one wanted to sit next to you – just because of who you are.
You do not tell your colleagues about your same-sex partner, fearing how they might react.
You never speak about your faith – because it does not feel safe to do so.
