How would you know you don't have a LGBT employee..!?
- allworknoplay 8y agothe commenter's bio indicates that they're currently starting a business; they probably know their employees pretty well if they even have any.
- foxyv 8y agoI don't know about that. If a person doesn't want to say so, it's almost impossible to determine if a person is LGB or T. Especially people you are extremely close to. We tend to be blind about that sort of thing.
- simonebrunozzi 8y agoWe're 3 co-founders and 3 employees, and we know each other really well - that's the only reason why I know we don't have any LGBT employees yet.
- undoware 8y agoI really appreciate that an honest answer to this question gets instantly hammered with -4 points and dropping. Guess what? This space isn't friendly either, and it itself will erase all evidence of that. Just like most companies.
- sctb 8y agoI expect that users perceived and reacted to antagonism in “Take a seat, cis.” It's a convention on this site to avoid such personal jabs and instead stick to the topic at hand.
- rhencke 8y agoI am someone who flagged your post. I promise, it had nothing to do with your content, and it had nothing to do with this space not being friendly to those who are LGBT - I am one of those four letters, myself. It had to do with the dismissal and disrespect you showed someone whose tone and message showed nothing but wishing to reach out, connect, learn and accept.
