Can't believe you missed the following classic moment:
In season 3, as referenced above, while on a business trip to Baltimore Draper sees (the clearly homosexual) Sal in the middle of a swift fumble with a male hotel employee as he is exiting the building via a fire escape. Sal met Draper's eye through the room window and knows full well what his boss saw. The following day, while on the flight back to New York, Draper turns to a plainly uncomfortable and nervous Sal, a ponderous tone in his voice. He breathes in deeply before cooly outlining his proposed ad campaign for the Baltimore clients London Fog. He ends with the slogan he thinks most suitable: "Limit your exposure."
His motivations for offering Sal such sage advice and for doing the honourable thing in keeping another man's business to himself are unclear (though frankly Draper has far more important things on his mind than his underlings' sexual peccadilloes) but refreshing. The good work is undone then later in the season when he is forced to sack Sal after he rejects the advances of an important (but closeted) client. "You people..." he grumbles before sending Sal off to a Central Park cruising hotspot.
