Five years ago, a technology executive landed a seat on the board of directors of a big corporation. As a person of color who identifies as nonbinary, they were thrilled: Their new company not only embraced their professional credentials, it touted their gender identity, as well.

After years of civil rights advances and hard-fought wins in the workplace, being openly gay, trans or nonbinary in corporate America just got tougher – especially at the top.
