But even those who are out and proud in supportive workplaces can run into problems. In this episode of Real Momentum, meet three successful professionals struggling to balance living their lives with making a living. Mateisha is a hairstylist who's in the closet at her salon. She's worried her religious boss, Antoinette, is about to discover her secret. Mateisha wants to come out before she's found out. But will she keep her job when she tells the truth? Laurel thought she had her dream job - she built a successful small business shooting action photos at a ski resort in gay-friendly Asheville, North Carolina. But when the resort's owner saw Laurel's wedding announcement in the newspaper, she got fired. Now she's a reluctant activist against discrimination. But the local Christian right is organizing against Laurel. Can she rise to the challenge in a job she never signed up for? Scott has just become the first out male police officer in the history of Montana. But increased visibility is bringing him increased hostility - in the form of anonymous threats.
