In reply to the discussion: Is the LGBT Group meeting your needs? [View all]Zorra
(27,670 posts)15. Good points.
However, the hierarchy came about because of number of votes cast per individual, so there was no overt bias in the selection.
I implicity trust the male hosts in our group to not use the hierarchical order to squelch dissent or unfairly dominate group decisions.
That said, I wholeheartedly agree with you that it would be in the best interests of the group to have a body of hosts that was as diverse and inclusive as is possible and practical.
That is one of the primary reasons why I asked you if you would consider becoming a host.
