Speaking of MI......our village hall has applied for a grant to refurb the (single) disabled toilet. We were asked to answer this question in the application:
"It is a requirement of the Foundation that any grants be used to build and grow diversity and inclusion in rural communities. To what extent will any grant (if awarded) directly benefit the local minority and LGBTQ+ community? How and how often will this be measured by your organisation?"

Did you answer “we would be happy to let the fags use the improved spastic toilet whenever they want, and we will film them on CCTV for reporting purposes”?
I’m available for consulting gigs btw - I’m heaps cheaper than McKinsey too

"The Europe that Gay Porn Built, 1945-2000" examines, for the first time, the ways in which postwar gay erotica and porn magazines helped forge a pan-European gay male constituency build on processes of identification, solidarity and subcultural distinction that we proposed to call "homoeuropeanism": a specifically homosexual and sexualised form of European identification that developed in the context of postwar geopolitics. It will tell a unique new history of "Europe," one capable of decentring its hegemonic narratives by means of identifying and mappings its subcultural homosexual enunciations in postwar gay erotica and porn magazines, and its dissemination via the latter's transitional networks of production, circulation, and consumption.

That really is mind boggling and just highlights how crazy things have gotten in some areas. I assume that's a stupid generic question that they ask everyone, but disabled people are by far the most disadvantaged people in society, and it's not even close. To actually pose a question like that in relation to upgrading a disabled toilet... Christ.

Maybe mission creep. Probably started off with a good idea and standard wording around inclusion (rural communities can be lonely and fragmented places), diversity originally meant different age groups, occupations etc and people just added stuff on and changed meanings as the fad took hold.

Federal officials have leveled a discrimination lawsuit at the Sheetz convenience store chain alleging the company’s use of criminal background checks as a screening mechanism for employees falls afoul of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Although Joe Biden’s Department of Justice says it does not believe the company intended to discriminate, the fact that minority applicants are more likely to have criminal records places Sheetz outside of the law.
Disparate Impact - it's bad folks.
