Sexuality is arguably the most under-researched of all diversity
areas in work organizations. This book brings together and relates
stories of minority sexual identity from six organizations drawn
from three different industry sectors: the Emergency Services, the
Civil Service and the Banking sector. Here sexual minorities freely
recount stories of their own workplace experiences. Three main
themes emerge from the data: silence, disclosure and response.
Issues of voice and silence are particularly pertinent for those
who are not part of the dominant heterosexual discourse; issues of
disclosure are highly important for sexual minorities for whom
coming out is a major defining moment; and, highly unusually, in
this book readers get an insight into how people respond to sexual
minorities, as other employees' reactions to stories are related
too. This book makes a significant contribution to our
understanding discursive construction of identity in the workplace,
as experienced by sexual minorities and provides a snapshot of
minority working lives at the beginning of the 21st century. This
is an extremely well written, highly innovative, timely and
engaging book which as well as human resources management, it will
also be of interest to scholars in other areas such as sociology
and general business and management.
