"Closet” Hurts Employee & Employer

And now this story: A survey of gay and lesbian employees across the U.S. has found that "fears about disclosing a gay identity at work had an overwhelmingly negative relationship with their career and workplace experiences and with their psychological well-being."


I came to realize this on a deeply personal level at the last two places I worked. The interesting one was about the other guy "in the closet" who damaged my career because of his own fears of being disclosed. The other? That's another story for another time.
