This group is a place for gay/lesbian/bisexual/trans/queer/intersex Drupal community members and their allies to communicate with one another, collaborate together, and help get new members involved.
We aim to:
- provide a nice welcome mat to other LGBTQI in the Drupal community that "we're here!"
- provide a place to coordinate larger outreach into the non-Drupal-using (yet) LGBTQI community.
- provide a "social" place for talking about LGBTQI issues and their relation to technology, employment in our field, interesting community opportunities, etc.
- provide a "safe space" to have the sorts of "meta" community-impacting discussions, like gender, that tend to get ugly and heated when they're brought up in the issue queue with people who aren't as sensitive to them.
Read more about our history and organizers and the origin of our group's name.
Keywords: gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, gender variant, transgender, transsexual, FTM, MTF, pansexual, omnisexual....
Aww it's looking quiet!
Does the description need to be changed, is Slack the main place things are happening now? Or are there other spaces?

Speaker Diversity Workshop through SFDUG and friends
Drupal Diversity & Inclusion advocates through SFDUG are hosting a Speaker Diversity Workshop to help speakers from underrepresented groups prepare to speak at conferences. This will in turn help local meetups, Drupal Camps, and even DrupalCons develop a more diverse speaker roster. The workshop helps folks bust through their impostor syndrome and develop a topic, title, pitch, bio, and outline. #DrupalSpeakerDiversity
The workshop covers:
- Impostor syndrome
- Finding a topic
- Better speaker tips
- Writing a great pitch
- Creating an outline
- Creating great slides

DrupalCon 2015 - Anyone wanna plan a session
It was a pleasure to meet everyone at DrupalCon Austin 2014. I regret I was not able to join folks for drinks that evening, I hope it won't be the last opportunity I have.
I am glad to see there are Queer Folks represented in this industry. One of the things that struck me about the BOF was the number of voices that seemed to resonate with the theme of alienation. For the folks who feel this in their workplace my heart goes out to you; hang in there and keep fighting the good fight.

IDAHOT - International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia is celebrated on May17 to commemorate the World Health Organization’s decision in 1990 to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder. IDAHOT is not one centralised campaign; rather it is a moment that everyone can take advantage of to take action (this year in over 120 countries). Coordination and support on global scale is done via Committee and small team as part time executives (activists from different continents). http://dayagainsthomophobia.org/may-17/
