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

[jweston]

This sounds like a wonderful idea. Statistically speaking, all teams have LGBTQI people living in their communities. That includes your community whether you realize it or not. It is my hope that we all understand how valuable it is to diversify our teams if we want to fulfill our mission of spreading interest in STEM. Unfortuntely, there is still a lot of prejudice against and fear of non-heteronormative people in the world. This blog has the potential to help teams become better acquainted with LGBTQI people and understand some of the unique issues they face, especially issues that pertain to their participation on a team.

I wish you well in your effort to bring another resource to make FIRST one of the most inclusive communities in the world.
