A few weeks ago, I read an inspiring story in the Huffington Post, by Frank J. Miles, "Come out for Yourself--Stay out for Others." Today I read a recent piece on advocate.com, by Gregory Lewis, which proves Miles' theory. Lewis states that " Analysis of 2000 Census data suggests that smaller gay–straight pay disparities for men in the nonprofit sector, occupational choices, and ability to afford nonprofit employment explain some overrepresentation of partnered gay men but not of partnered lesbians."
"Even after controlling for all these factors, people with same-sex partners remain more likely than married people to work for NPOs, suggesting that a strong desire to serve others is an important factor."
I think that the strong desire to serve others should "stand out" for those of the gay community who have been underserved by society. In spite of that, the gay community is understanding and empathetic to the needs of others.
Good job!
