Do you think there’s a glass ceiling for out gay employees? I’ve been with my (now) husband for the last two decades and had three positions.

I even took on the responsibilities of a senior director after his firing and I couldn’t get promoted. My handpicked successor — who I think is an excellent marketer — became a director almost immediately.
