It would be awesome if we lived in a world where everyone was treated the same, and I know that you are trying to say that by focusing on what makes everyone different doesn't seem like it would help make the world an equal place.

But that's not how it always works. If you don't want to read the blog, then don't read it, but clearly some folks want this to exist. They're not making a corner of the internet that says "no straight or cis people allowed," they're just making a space where conversations about LGBT+ in FIRST can start.

Ignoring our differences won't make them go away, so we might as well try understanding how our differences change the way we experience things. This blog is a great way for the LGBT+ Community to share those experiences.

Also, if your team has been inclusive and a positive thing for those folks on your team, then that's great!
