Re: FIRST LGBT+ (A blog by and about LGBT+ people in FIRST)
I'd love to hear more perspectives from straight cis people telling LGBT people their identities don't matter and that their struggles with inclusion and acceptance aren't valid, or that their very existence is a "political" issue that FIRST shouldn't even acknowledge. Please make more posts about this, it will really help all of us understand your uniquely informed position! This is sarcasm, please stop. If you can't be supportive, just move on.

In all seriousness, best of luck with the blog! Marginalized groups grow stronger and more supportive when they come together like this. I've known too many people who felt like they had to leave their identities at the door in order to be accepted on their robotics teams, and resources like this one will really help those students whom are finding themselves.
