Lesbians Who Tech

Description

• Lesbians Who Tech is a community of queer women in tech (and allies) that started in San Francisco in December 2012. Since then, weve built a community of over 12,000 queer women in 25 cities, including 5 international cities.Why Lesbians Who Tech?To Be More Visible To Each OtherWe all know that familiar feeling of meeting someone in a work setting, knowing shes a lesbian, and trying to work it into a conversation and make that connection. Were about making that happen: connecting lesbians and building a network of colleagues, associates and friends in the industry.To Be More Visible To OthersOutside of Ellen, Rosie, Melissa, and now Tammy, what other mainstream lesbian role models can most people name? We need more examples of lesbian leaders and that means we need to come out as the amazing, successful people we are.To Get More Women And Lesbians In TechnologyLesbians are women first, and right now women are some of the most gifted folks in technology, yet there are far fewer of us than there should be (women account for 1 in 15 people in STEM fields). Because there arent enough women, women are rarely quoted as experts by the mainstream media and blogs, on panels, etc. And add the element of being lesbian, its equally important for us to represent women, and out women, for our communities.To Connect Lesbians Who Tech To LGBTQ And Womens Organizations Who Are Doing Incredible Work For CommunityThere are so many groups who are fighting for our rights, and they need our support. Lesbians Who Tech provides a platform to raise awareness of their work and connect these organizations to queer women in the tech community.
