John Browne, former CEO of BP and one of the UK’s most admired business leaders, and entrepreneur and campaigner, Ivan Massow, examine the risks and rewards of revealing one's sexual identity in business.

Lord Browne argues that individuals, the businesses they work for, and economies will thrive only when employees are able to realise and contribute their full potential, as their authentic selves, free from prejudice and anxiety because of who they are.

Following the recent General Election, the UK now has the largest number of LGBT MPs in the world. What, then, can business learn from politics?

Companies should not have "LGBT policies". They should discourage and punish discrimination by other staff members, sure. But they shouldn't actively go out of their way to hit quotas or hire people specifically to improve their PR image LGBT-wise. Discrimination is not remedied with more discrimination.
