Abstract :
LORD BROWNE\´S sumptuous offices in Mayfair\´s rather swish Burlington Gardens overlook the rear fa??ade of the Royal Academy, where austere statues of Cicero, Plato and a host of other classical thinkers peer across the road into his glass office. If you were to follow their gaze, you would be taken into a glass-walled conference room where we sit discussing his latest book, \´The Glass Closet\´. It\´s a book that could help to change the way the corporate world thinks about sexual orientation in the workplace. Sir Richard Branson describes it as "a fascinating book that shows how businesses can lead the way in promoting gay rights".
