FIRST-PERSON: Questions about 1997 paper: an explanation
EDITORS' NOTE: The following statement was written by Patricia Schoenrade, professor and chair of the psychology department at William Jewell College, and distributed to students in response to a Dec. 6 Baptist Press story about a paper she coauthored about homosexuals in the workplace in 1997. One year after she wrote the paper, Schoenrade became a Christian and her viewpoint on homosexuality changed.
LIBERTY, Mo. (BP)--Today some students have come to me with questions about a paper I coauthored in 1997. The paper was entitled "Staying in the Closet Versus Coming Out: Relationships Between Communication about Sexual Orientation and Work Attitudes."
