Gay and Lesbian Professionals in the Closet by Teresa DeCrescenzo

Gay and Lesbian Professionals in the Closet

Who’s In, Who’s Out, and Why

Teresa DeCrescenzo

The closet takes its toll on its dwellers through their experiences of isolation, fear, paranoia, potentially increased internalized homophobia, and dissonance between role and identity; yet many people in the helping professions do not feel that it is desirable or even appropriate to disclose your sexual orientation to those receiving help. Gay and Lesbian Professionals in the Closet explores the different positions people take on this provocative issue, the arguments they use to support their positions, and why the issue may not be as clear-cut as it sometimes seems.
