The gay engineer [equal opportunities]

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.
