Re: FIRST LGBT+ (A blog by and about LGBT+ people in FIRST)
Here is my unwanted 2 cents on this. I don't like the idea, It seems to me that First's biggest draw (well one of them) is being inclusive. We have never asked a student if they were gay, straight, black, white, male, female... none of that really matters. We have had LGBT students and it really was no big deal.

I don't particularly care for separating out a group of students/mentors for any reason. I'd be against it if it were a group like: "First Democrats" or "First Republicans" or "First ????" We are one community, separating us out for any arbitrary reason is kinda against what I thought we were all working towards.

Rich.
