Imagine working in a job you always dreamed of having and
working in a career that excites and fulfills you in every way.
Consider what it would be like to be highly successful in your
work, admired by your peers, but always fearful that if anyone you
work with discovered your secret, it could all be over. This is
what it is like to be a closeted gay, lesbian, bisexual, or
transgender member of law enforcement. And in the fire service and
emergency medical services profession, the condition is even worse
because of the common housing situation required while working a 24
to 48 hour shift.
It's true that society as a whole has become more accepting of
gay and lesbian people, but homophobia continues to be pervasive in
much of the public safety arena. Most states still do not have any
employment protection against harassment and discrimination based
on sexual orientation. Imagine being fired from the job you love
because of who you are.
American Heroes Coming Out From Behind The Badge is Greg
Miraglia's second book intended to show examples of how police
officers, firefighters, and EMS professionals have been able to
come out and be successful on the job. The stories come from across
the country and tell of a very personal and courageous journey.
They are intended to both inspire and educate. The book contains a
section on how to come out as well as a section with resources and
associations supporting LGBT public safety professionals.
This book is ideal for anyone who is struggling to come out as
well as for straight allies who want to learn more about how to
support their LGBT colleagues.
