I'd be careful about how you promote this job offering. As other said, you may either appear discriminatory or actually be in violation of state laws (some states do not allow you to discriminate based on sexuality). If it's clear you'll only hire a LGBT programmer, you're in violation of those laws. In addition, try to be careful of providing ammunition to people who will shout "reverse discrimination" at you. They seem to think that one instance of discrimination that favors disadvantaged groups is justification to ignore widespread discrimination. I think what you're doing is an excellent project. But it'll be a very difficult one, due to the social constructs you're dealing with. You'll need to be extra careful to mind your p's and q's with everything else, so you can more effectively get your message across. Best wishes and best of luck.
