Academic Kathleen Stock asks what has gone wrong with LGBT staff networks in workplaces?

If yours is a large employer, chances are there’s a staff LGBT network, group, or forum at your workplace. Here’s a question: what do you think it’s for? When I came out, relatively late and with few sources of support in place, I assumed the one at my workplace would be somewhere I could interact with colleagues facing similar challenges, have a laugh, and feel a sense of solidarity. Admittedly – being a diehard introvert – I didn’t actually pluck up courage to go to any of the pub socials I would see advertised on their Facebook page. But still, I enjoyed feeling part of a friendly virtual community, at least in my head.
