Can Being Gay Hold Back Your Career?

Ran across this blog posting from ZDNet blogger Zach Whittaker and thought I'd put it up for discussion. Not an in-depth study, just some thoughts he posted to get folks thinking.

Anyway, my personal opinion is that it's always something to be concerned about, just as blacks and women and physically challenged, and, for that matter, everyone else with any kind of trait that could be discriminated against needs to be concerned about. But I also think that things are getting better ... much better ... and that soon, maybe after the election, our national tone is going to soften even more and become ever more tolerant. What do you think? Any experiences to share in your own career?
