I also get the impression that he thinks lesbian, gay, and bisexual people should not disclose their sexual orientation to their employers or clients!? That decision is entirely personal and he should support his non-straight colleagues either way. Won't it advance rights in the long run if employers and clients realize some of the best workers aren't straight?
