FIRST LGBT+ (A blog by and about LGBT+ people in FIRST)

[Carolyn_Grace]

I've become friends with more LGBT+ FIRSTers over the years, and I'm very excited to see this blog. I am eager to read more about LGBT+ experiences in FIRST. I hope that this blog helps me become a better ally, mentor, and volunteer.

Even though FIRST emphasis is on STEM and robots, it's the people who are always most important in my opinion. And learning from a variety of people (especially those different from me) is a great way to become a better person. I find that when I surround myself by like-minded people, that I don't learn nearly as much as when I am around diversity.

I welcome this blog, and am eager to follow, learn, and support in anyway that I can. (I love editing, so if anyone ever wants me to edit their content, just shoot me a PM).
