James D. Woods

Jay H. Lucas

While most of us believe that professional conduct is, or should be, asexual, corporate America is in fact suffused with sexual assumptions. From its offices to its boardrooms, heterosexuality is continuously on display: alluded to in conversation and family photos, symbolized by wedding rings, and endorsed by personnel policies that award health insurance and other benefits to spouses and children. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with men all across the country and in different kinds of companies, from chief executive to recent college graduates, James Woods explores the "sexual culture" of these organization, and the difficult choices it present for gay professionals.
