" (...) At a time when the LGBTQ movement is facing considerable political backlash, The Queering of Corporate America complicates the narrative of corporate conservatism and provides insights into the future legal, political, and cultural implications of progressive corporate activism. It is also invaluable history for queer people who continue to advocate for their rights and for those in the business world invested in social equality and in creating diverse and supportive work environments."--Jacket.
