Gary Goldman: Support and Representation for LGBTQ+ in Tech Communities
Gary: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Out in Tech is a global not-for-profit that serves the LGBTQ+ tech community by creating opportunities for our members to advance their careers, grow their networks, and leverage tech for social change. We want to make sure that LGBTQ+ people are adequately represented and supported within tech, which is the defining sector of our time. An unprecedented number of anti-LGBTQ+ bills (specifically those targeting trans people) have been proposed in state legislatures in the past year. Our work is to connect the more than 40,000 members we have with job opportunities in safe environments, as well as to work with our tech partners to ensure that they hire and retain top talent.
