Abstract :
Timothy Meyer started a new job last year, soon after he received his master´s in electrical engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. At work, he doesn´t bring up his personal life, because he´s afraid of being discriminated against or even fired. Meyer is gay. The fact remains that in the U.S. workplace, as in society, gays and lesbians are not yet recognized as a group that deserves benefits and legal protection.
