As the fight for equality in the workplace

Corporate America has made a lot of progress, not only recognizing the alternative lifestyles such as gays and lesbians, but also concerning any matter inequality and unfairness in relation to employment.

However, corporations cannot change, prejudice, radical viewpoints and biased opinion of its staff. And the hardest part of fighting unfairness and lack of equality in the workplace. When gays and lesbians colleague decides to come out of his or her sexuality is outed by another colleague, it is not certain how things will evolve to a colleague. It may be apparent or covert harassment or he can be welcomed. Or, no one care and life would go in the Office as before.

Most of the guidance notes on how to deal with gays and lesbians, unfortunately, is very broad and vague. It is cloaked in terms such as "diversity," "the possibility for each of them", etc. What HR departments communicated by senior is the toe centreline. This is understandable--a job is not where you flaunt Your sexuality. The company has many components--including those who believe that alternative lifestyles are for distribution nodes.

Say, is that recognizing the adverse effect of the corporate America's struggle is the first step for gays and lesbians to carefully maintain their views, if makes them at the most appropriate. Let us be clear objectives:

1. all around equality--promotions, health benefits, a pacifist, and being appointed to key positions within the company

2. Transparency in dealing with alternative lifestyle. More hiding behind euphemisms like "diversity". Is the great and the first step, the promotion of diversity. But diversity should be a means, not an end.

3. the Normalcy in the workplace where everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation is to charge Hello and mainstream.

It is also important that occur on the last point. Just as Brown have been above and covert discrimination and therefore had to be dealt with as a special to overcome a sense of separation, gays and lesbians must recognize that only says that everyone is equal is not sufficient. Some tips:

Celebrates special events in the lives of gays and lesbians in the workplace is key. This includes, adopting a child of the same sex marriage and Welcome day for a pair of gays and lesbians. This can be achieved only by the gays and lesbians taking leadership to organize and promote such events.
