I believe it's a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender employees association.

Our company's got one.

JWBear 08-01-2007 09:50 AM
Correct.

It's something we've been trying to get for 11 years now.

Every time I read the title to this thread, I think of Gene Hackman in drag.

But.....what.....does....that.....get you? I have no idea how this changes your workplace. Why have you been trying to get it?

I just seriously am clueless about this.

Visibility. Official recognition. A place at the table. Unity. Peer support. The opportunity to provide education and advice, and to fight bias and discrimination towards both LGTB employees and the communities we serve.

We will have a voice (and a permanent seat) on the agency's Multi-cultural Advisory Committee - along with similar groups for African-American, Asian, and Hispanic employees.

That's great news! Sorry it took so long but you prevailed in the end!
