Brian McNaught is an award-winning writer, sexuality educator, and consultant on the issues facing gay, lesbian, and bisexual people. In the last five years, he has trained several thousand employees of AT&T and Bell Communications Research (Bellcore) on the topic of "Homophobia in the Workplace." Since 1974, Mr. McNaught has spoken at nearly one hundred universities and has produced numerous educational materials on homosexuality and on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

Review:

“Clear, well-organized and straightforward, McNaught's book is an excellent resource. This is a book for gays to read and share with their colleagues and, when possible, their employers . . . a significant index of how lesbians and gay men are transforming society by being out in the workplace.” ―Genre

“A 'must-read' for diversity trainers.” ―Jerry Dark, Associate Vice President for Human Resources at Georgia Tech University

“An excellent, hands-on managerial guide book.” ―Lambda Book Report

“Essential reading . . . a clear and comprehensive primer offering a sensible and sensitive guide.” ―Ed Mickens, editor and publisher, Working It Out: The Newsletter for Gay and Lesbian Employment Issues

“A useful handbook.” ―Publishers Weekly

“Straights and gays alike have something to learn from this concise, academic and human book. Historic facts and definitions provide a sound basis for understanding, and McNaught's anecdotal flourishes from work and family life bring the material well into the '90s.” ―Southern Voice

“Every manager and employee who takes our course on 'Homophobia in the Workplace' will receive a copy of this book. Brian McNaught has an incredible skill in helping people understand and respond to gay issues in a nonthreatening way.” ―Sheila Landers, Personnel Services Manager at AT&T Network Systems
