Resumen

Gender is essential to our identity. As information and communications technology (ICT) permeates every aspect of everyday life, a body of literature has emerged that broadens our understanding of IT and gender. A growing number of studies have shed light on the implications of ICT for gender and sexual minority populations in various areas. Gender and sexual minorities commonly referred to as LGBT consist of people whose gender identity diverges from predominant conceptions of masculinity and femininity or whose sexual orientation differs from the majority. Previous literature reviews on IT and gender have focused on the underrepresentation of women in the IT landscape. This paper presents the preliminary results of a literature review focusing on gender and sexual minorities and ICT. This paper contributes to the IS literature on gender by providing a foundation for ideas on ICT’s role in mitigating the stigma associated with gender and sexual minority status.
