Hi Fae,

Opabinia regalis and I both identified ourselves as bisexual women on our question pages. Hope that's useful.

Thanks for highlighting it. Unfortunately there are a lot of pages to
wade through with user questions, so things like being a woman or
identifying as LGBT are handy things to mention in passing in the
candidate statement. It certainly would influence my vote...

I agree, as this is a critical part of the election this year it would
be interesting to see an aggregation of gender and LGBT stats, or a
"diversity index", for candidates and the eventual Arbcom elected, and
to see this compared to past years. Perhaps if someone is writing up a
Signpost article they could include this small bit of research? ;-)
