In 1992 Cheryl Summerville, a cook at a Cracker Barrel restaurant outside Atlanta, received a termination paper stating that she was fired for "failing to demonstrate normal heterosexual values." She was shocked to discover that in more than 40 American states it was legal to fire workers simply because of their sexual orientation. OUT AT WORK chronicles the stories of a cook, an auto worker and a librarian as they seek workplace safety, job security and benefits for gay and lesbian workers.

"A
close-up of how deeply feelings against homosexuals can still

"OUT
AT WORK is
a well-researched, well-made documentary about gay life in
the workplace. Its informative look at "routine" discrimination
and harassment – including and out-and-out threats against
gay workers – is an eye-opener for those who thought
that everybody knew better in the 90s."
Scoot
Sloan, SHEPHERD EXPRESS |

“OUT
AT WORK is

our educational work within workplaces and
labor unions.”
