Despite being a vocal advocate of LGBT representation, Sudbury hasnt always felt able to speak openly in the workplace about her sexuality. She grew up in an entrepreneurial family in north Queensland, Australia. After moving to the UK for a second time at 27 she worked in finance, another male-dominated industry. I picked up that being a gay woman wasnt celebrated, she says.

Sudbury left so she could work out what success looked like in the context of being a woman who was openly gay. There were no visible gay women at that point that I could point to who were CEOs or in positions of power, she says. So I felt like I had to leave and do something different for a time.

This is stupid. Why should speaking openly about your sexual orientatiin or preference be done at the work place? Why should someone's immutable characteristic that they did not choose be celebrated?

This just makes it harder for people you wouldn't know are gay or bi or lesbian, because they may not be advertising their orientation as if it's some cheap label or something. Plenty of people who you wouldn't know have those orientations just work and don't want to do anything but work, yet you wouldn't be able to measure how that affects this narrative.

And this entire narrative is based on her anecdotes. She's trying to get brownie points in the blogosphere by peddling SJW nonsense to people who will just accept it and run with it. This entire subject has been repeated so often and it really is annoyingly fatiguing at this point.
