In NYC, we might take it for granted that we’re out wherever we work.
But in other places – yes, there are other places! – it’s not always so easy, as the Wall Street Journal observes this week.
The Journal‘s advice:
Make sure coming out would be safe for you.
Next, choose who’s best to tell and how to tell them.
And finally, don’t feel pressed; make sure you’re ready.
One tip the story doesn’t mention: If you’re a member of a networking group like Out Professionals, you can turn to your fellow members for advice. All of us have been there at some point.
