It's also important to note that individuals may not be bothered by a lack of diversity, but that doesn't mean the lack of diversity is okay for everyone. I'm a straight white dude. I get that I don't have experiences that a lot of others have. That something doesn't bother me doesn't mean that it's not important. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Representation matters., Perhaps examine your own offhand chauvinism. If representation matters add the LGBTTQQIAAP community. No need leaving some people out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said just as much in one of my posts. They’re only catching flak from one person on here. I’m not going to lose any sleep over getofmydot’s post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Spatzzz Posted September 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) I have a novel idea. How about the person that is best qualified for the position regardless of what naughty parts they have or what type of naughty parts the choose to engage with is selected. Isn't that the definition of equality, you know, actually looking at someone based on their qualifications?
