Maybe because I'm new...I have yet to see any females or any one in the LGBTQ community comment in any of the discussions.

Unlike Reddit, Twitter, etc, the RP community is a relatively safe place for candid discussion.

Women represent only about 1 in 7 of military members, so there are relatively few to begin with. Female membership of RallyPoint is not that much lower than that, but they appear to lurk a bit more than post. It is always good to encourage more diverse points of view.

I honestly would like to hear more from them and the LGBTQ community as well. I think it would produce better quality discussions.

I like to do what I can to draw them in.

Lt Col (Join to see) - You may find these very candid discussions by LGBT members of interest:

If you can help bring more diverse viewpoints to RallyPoint (through your immediate network or otherwise), that is something that is always appreciated.

I have noticed quite a few females on RP. The vast majority of topics have nothing to do with sexual orientation, so most people (and may I add appropriately) don't bring it into the conversation. For instance if the topic is about adopting a new service rifle I dont see how bringing up which side of the plate you swing from as having anything to do with the issue.

We have some very good females who comment. But, frankly, I seldom notice the gender of the person commenting.
