I am glad to see there are diverse groups to assist LGBTQ diversity group that help to showase their leadership skills and community involvement .
I appreciated the well organized considerations to guide a student through pros and cons. I also liked the idea of sharing the idea with a student who may not wish to include LGBTQ on their resume of rewording it to minority or diversity group so that their leadership skills and community involvement are still captured.
Researching the work policies and environment, making use of websites/resources around LGBTQ friendly ocmpanies and evaluating resume for wording are all good to do when deciding when making employment considerations
More states need anti-discriminatory laws to help face challenges.
It seems as if research is the best advice, along with communicating with the LGBTQ members in the locale for companies that provide equality for all people. The tough part is for LGBTQ members who live in small/rural areas who are looking for employment.
Many states do not have Anti-discriminatory laws against members of the LGBTQ community. This means that many students going into the workforce will face difficult challenges and need mentors.
