Why Do I Do All This LGBT Work? Impacts me personally and professionally Sharpens the focus of my community efforts The time is now

Why Do I Do All This LGBT Work? 53% LGBT hide who they are at work 80% non-LGBT say personal lives come up weekly or daily 81% non-LGBT say people should not have to hide who they are > 50% non-LGBT not comfortable hearing LGBTs talk about dating 25% LGBT say coworkers seem uncomfortable 63% LGBT report hearing jokes at work Source: HRC The Cost of the Closet and Rewards of Inclusion

The Impact

Definitions Diversity: The “mix” -- Age, gender, race/ethnicity, beliefs, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic status, abilities, etc. Inclusion: Making the “mix” work. Equity: Access to opportunities that produce positive outcomes regardless of identity, place, economic status, etc.

The Vision for Change Diversity (People) Inclusion (Orgs) Equity (Results)

Why is Equity Important? Employee attraction and retention Avoid “group think” Creativity, innovation, problem-solving Globally competitive Company reputation in the community Represent diversity of customers – you can serve them better

Recognizing Diversity, Inclusion & Equity in The Workplace Look at diversity of their workforce Do they have diverse leadership? Do they have inclusive employment policies? Do they have employee resource groups? How are they involved in the community? HRC Corporate Equality Index

How I Balance Activism & Professionalism Have a reputation for being good at what I do Ask for forgiveness rather than permission Balance what I have with what I’m willing to risk Do not alienate people Be patient. Real change takes time. Mix community work with professional work Know when to leave it alone

Allies Make A Difference Get Involved! Critical mass Contribute unique talents and resources Educate others outside LGBT community Make others feel comfortable Be intolerant of degrading jokes Challenge those who use offensive terms
