Funny how you used these words. In law enforcement, I personally know gay and lesbian officers who are terrified of being found out by their colleagues. They also have no shred of doubt that they'd either be alienated by their peers or lose their jobs outright if they're ever found out. The ones that live with their partners always referred to them as "roommates". And I'm talking about a profession that, officially, value diversity above all else and have all their employees attend diversity workshops every couple of months.
And I completely agree with your view on the majority. I'd also like to add that externally it is fashionable to condemn discrimination. But internally, nobody wants to admit or deal with the problem.
