I just wanted to start this blog post by saying I got to go in person to help run a voter registration event on Saturday. We got rained out pretty early, but we did get a few people registered before that happened. It was nice to finally meet some of the people who work in my organization in person. They were just as warm and welcoming in person as they were on zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve noticed that the culture surrounding LGBT Detroit is rooted in sexuality because everyone is so open about conversations that would normally be looked down upon in traditional heteronormative workplace environments. We regularly have candid conversations about sex and sexuality, mostly because LGBT Detroit specializes in safe sex education. Also, the environment feels kind of laid back and moves at your own pace. I do work as asked of me, but generally, I\u2019ve always felt pressured to rush and get things done. I\u2019ve noticed a lot of my organization’s co-workers don\u2019t come in until the afternoon. However, it is a very self-accountable culture. What I mean by that, is that you work at your own pace and therefore are responsible for getting things done by the due dates, without prompting. It can be a little stressful if you\u2019re forgetful like me but it is still a welcoming workplace environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
