What is the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado’s definition of an inclusive organization?
We define it as creating a safe organizational environment where access and opportunity exist regardless of differences. All people are welcome and invited to become a part of all aspects of the organization, including board, staff, clients/patrons, volunteers, vendors, and donors.

What is meant by “gender expression”?
Gender Expression is the physical manifestation of one’s gender identity, usually expressed through clothing, mannerisms, and chosen names. Some people may have a gender expression that matches their gender identity, rather than their birth sex. Reference to protections that include gender expression may be associated with any individual who expresses gender in a way that is not consistent with social norms.
