I think Josh's stated goals are to provide resources for everyone, with a emphasis on and perspective from the LGBT+ community. It may be a separate page, but its a resource everyone can utilize when trying to confront diversity issues. Would you say groups like
NEMO segregate non-engineer mentors from the rest of the FIRST community?

I don't see how what Josh is doing is in conflict with your statement. He's an individual on a team, reaching out to provide support and a voice to others in the FIRST community. it's not like this is a mandate coming from New Hampshire.

Thank you for the heads up though!

First of all, I commend you for taking the initiative and starting something new to further enrich the FIRST experience for everyone.
If it turns out you need to change the logo, PM me and I'll either help design or mentor a student in developing a new one.
