New subject: [LGBT] Arbcom election

24 Nov 2015

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? ;-)

 This year sees a much more interesting selection of candidates, though
 a lack of any *openly* LGBT candidates as far as I could tell from the
 statements. 

 Several candidates (myself included) mentioned our queerness in our
 responses to the demographics questions asked by some editors. I don't know
 if there's been any on-wiki aggregation of that data, however.
