Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The increasing number of gay, lesbian and bisexual employees coming out accentuates their need, and that of their employers, to promote productivity by encouraging understanding of gays among confused, fearful, hostile heterosexuals. McNaught ( On Being Gay ), who is gay, is a corporate counselor who has conducted workshops for management and employees. This useful handbook recommends that companies, beyond complying with laws that guarantee equal opportunities and benefits for all workers, further combat discrimination through required "diversity training" (including information about AIDS) of employees at all levels. The author concludes with a discussion of common questions, and an explanation of how to plan a company workshop.

From Library Journal
McNaught ( On Being Gay , LJ 9/15/88) is an effective teacher who offers various strategies for handling issues like homophobia in the workplace. Here he addresses such topics as why gay people "come out" at work; what they want from their employers and colleagues; why corporations need to address this issue; and how employers can encourage heterosexual co-workers and clients to respond positively toward their gay colleagues. He convincingly argues that by not addressing these concerns employers risk losing a great deal. But by coming to terms with a diverse work force and securing gay men and lesbian women a place in that work force, employers ensure a more competitive, loyal, and productive employee base. The author provides a sample workshop outline with an excellent bibliography and list of resources. Recommended for all business collections and libraries with education/training needs.
