LIFE ASSURANCE – THE GAY QUESTION

By | Published: 12th April 2011

Pink Finance the gay finance magazine is appealing for gay men to come forward, who are worried about the questions they were aksed whilst taking out Life Assurance policies in the past.

It has been brought to their attention that some gay men felt pressured into ‘not’ answering the ‘Gay Question’ on insurance applications and that these people are now concerned that their insurance policy may not pay out in the event of a claim.

Anyone concerned about these issues are asked to contact the editor of Pink Finance with their concerns by email editor@pinkfinance.co.uk  Pink Finance are looking to raise the issue within the insurance industry very soon, but need your help to challenge this discrimination.
