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? ;-) Fae On 24 November 2015 at 04:42, LFaraone <wikipe...@luke.wf> wrote: > On Tue, 24 Nov 2015 at 04:21 Fæ <fae...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> 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.
