Being out and proud is one of the most freeing and liberating experiences an LGBTQ person can experience. It can also create anxiety on how out you can be in certain situations - like work!

Author Kevin Jones shares his own experiences and his new book - Opening The Corporate Closet: Transforming Biases to Gay Advancement in Corporate America.
