Being gay just isn’t an issue at G+T which is how things should be. I don’t want special treatment and here, I don’t need it. Some of the most senior partners in this firm are LGBTI and out; it’s not a matter of tolerance or the result of proactive measures, but more simply the place is a meritocracy. People here are judged on what they do, not who they are. And that’s the truth.
