<P><SPAN STYLE="font-size: medium;"><STRONG><SPAN STYLE="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Why Lesbians Who Tech?</SPAN></STRONG></SPAN></P>
<P><STRONG STYLE="line-height: 1.6em;"><SPAN STYLE="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">To Be More Visible To Each Other</SPAN></STRONG></P>
<P><SPAN STYLE="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We all know that familiar feeling of meeting someone in a work setting, knowing she's a lesbian, and trying to work it into a conversation and make that connection. We're about making that happen: connecting lesbians and building a network of colleagues, associates and friends in the industry.</SPAN></P>
<P><STRONG STYLE="line-height: 1.6em;"><SPAN STYLE="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">To Be More Visible To Others</SPAN></STRONG></P>
<P><SPAN STYLE="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Outside 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.</SPAN></P>
<P><STRONG><SPAN STYLE="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">To Get More Women and Lesbians in Technology</SPAN></STRONG></P>
<P><SPAN STYLE="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Lesbians 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 aren't enough women, women are rarely quoted as experts by the mainstream media and blogs, on panels, etc. And add the element of being lesbian, it's equally important for us to represent women, and out women, for our communities.</SPAN></P>
