Being out—or even just supportive of gay causes—can mean you don’t get employed.
James Schreier's insight:
The discussion/debate is as important to this story as the story itself. A serious flaw of the article however is that it doesn't include the actual resumes -- the chart "could be" a misleading summary.

Research shows that women are more reticent than men to negotiate their salary offers. For instance, one study of graduating MBA students found that half of the men had negotiated their job offers as compared to only one eighth of the women.

Is negotiation a skill for which men are simply better socialized than women? Why leave money on the table? The social cost is too high.
