In Episode 70 we are joined by Dr. Danni Gardner who talks about her recently published paper (Gardner & Ryan, 2024). We chat about her findings lesbian, gay, and bisexual people who feel that their workplace is not welcoming to queer people are less likely to come out at work, and therefore more likely to establish and maintain strong boundaries between work and home lives. This gives some data behind the saying it’s not coming out, but letting people in.
You can find Dr. Gardner on her website.
