Gay men and lesbians who are open about their sexual orientation at their workplace are more likely to report higher job satisfaction than those who are not.

The number of years gay and lesbian workers have been open about their sexual orientation in their current workplace is positively associated with their job satisfaction.

Good relations between employers and employees increase openness on the part of gay male and lesbian employees and improve their attitudes about their jobs.

On average, lesbians earn more than comparable heterosexual women.
