My company counts participation in groups such as the LGBT employees group as part of your yearly review.

Jobs. Scholarships. Committees. Boards.

The DOE, to start.

i don't much honestly. a few bi friends have complained but i don't much agree with the whole "appropriation" angle.

Perhaps the people that don’t want to participate in open bigotry and other nonsense.
