I am a data analyst currently working in the Government Legal Department.
Growing up in an environment that didn’t exactly encourage expressing ‘unconventional’ sexual orientations and identities, I get unreasonably excited whenever I see anything rainbow-coloured. I’ve been going to LGBT+ Network events since I joined the Civil Service in 2020. But since I am rather outspoken about LGBT+ and my identity, I often come across other members of our community that rarely engage with networks and events. I hope I can help organise some that will give them a space they feel welcomed into.
My take on anyone not ‘comfortable’ with LGBT+ topics: if my grandma can figure it out, no one else has any excuse.
