We absolutely all deserve similar opportunities. Unfortunately some members of our community are denied opportunities or excluded (directly and indirectly, intentionally and unintentionally) because of their race/gender/sexual orientation/religion. It's for this reason that there's a need for specific attention for these groups; to help address the inequity they face.
