Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore problems of Non-Governmental Organisations (hereafter NGOs) of sexual orientation minorities in micro-national, meso-organisational, and micro- individual levels in the context of Turkey and UK. In order to conduct this research, documentary analysis has been made on the reports of NGOs of sexual orientation minorities. For Turkey, findings show three main problematic themes relating to legislation and regulations (macro-national), organisational survival and freedom (meso- organisational), and personal life of LGBTs (micro-individual). For UK, findings show three main themes as politics and practices of regulations (macro-national), visibility of LGBT organisations (meso-organisational), and problems regarding the personal lives of LGBTs. The main limitation of this study is to consider merely reports of LGBT organisations and news which are stated in these reports. The originality of this research comes from considering NGOs of sexual orientation minorities in the diversity management studies.
