In reply to the discussion: Is the LGBT Group meeting your needs? [View all]La Lioness Priyanka
(53,866 posts)10. honestly when the hosting votes were being cast, i remember saying
we should be mindful of picking a diverse group in terms of gender, race and gender expression
and i still think that's an ongoing issue i have with this group. far too few people of color, and sometimes this group feels a bit male.
i am totally not blaming any one person or group of people for it, but its something to be mindful of.
