Featured Session
Advancing LGBT Workplace Equality, One Step at a Time
The year started with Arizona trying to pass a “don’t serve the gays” bill. That bill brought up
the issues that the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which looks like it will not pass
in 2014, also contains religious exemptions that could open the door for the same type of
discrimination even if passed. President Obama then steps up and issues an executive order
requiring federal contractors to comply with federal non-discrimination polices based on sexual
orientation and gender identity (without religious exemptions). There is an outcry from parts
of the community to scrap ENDA and other say we should try to get the “best possible bill” with
or without the exemptions. Even though most of our Summit attendees work in companies
with protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity, join this panel in an open
discussion on why it is so important to achieve workplace equality.
Panelists: John Henderson (Out & Equal), Harper Jean Tobin (National Center for Transgender
Equality), Gautam Raghavan (White House Office of Public Engagement), Deena Fidas, MA
(Human Rights Campaign), Kevin M. Cathcart (Lambda Legal)
#OESUMMIT2014
Featured Session
Let’s Talk About Bisexuality
Many people have questions about bisexuality. Questions such as: Why aren’t there bisexuals
in my ERG? How can we be more bi-welcoming? Where can I go to educate myself? If a woman
identifies as bisexual but has been with her girlfriend for many years, is she really bi? How can
we deal with distrust of bisexuals in our ERG? This workshop focuses on answering YOUR
questions. Hear a brief presentation by some of the leading national experts in bi experience in
a variety of fields. Break into smaller conversation groups focused on specific topics, so you can
ask your questions. Each group will give a brief report-out and together we will break down the
barriers to and misconceptions about the elusive B in LGBT.

Featured Session
Post-Doma Era: Great News for Companies and Employees!
Since 1996, progressive companies have tried to mitigate the impact of Defense of Marriage
Act (DOMA) in search of benefits equality for LGBT families. The Supreme Court took the first
steps to end DOMA but new challenges now face LGBT employees and companies. This highly
rated panel from the 2013 Summit looked at the DOMA impact, what companies have been
doing and what changes are on the horizon. As part of the Town Call series in March of this
year, focused on the changing landscape of laws and benefits. Building on that foundation, we
will look at the next steps and questions on how businesses are being impacted with the
patchwork of decisions that exist today and what are the next steps. Panelists will share their

next steps!

Featured Session
Transgender Military Service: Why it’s Doable, and What it
Means for Everyone Else
The repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” left a gaping hole: transgender people continue to be
disqualified for military service. And yet, despite current policy, roughly 150,000 trans people
have served, and an estimated 15,000 currently serve in the US Armed Forces twice the rate of
non-trans people. Trans veterans Allyson Robinson (former Executive Director of OutServeSLDN) and Landon Wilson (featured in the Washington Post) will explain how and why trans
service is not only possible, but good for the military; and Sue Fulton, SPARTA Chair and the first
openly gay member of West Point’s Board of Visitors, will explain what the larger organization
learned about being trans allies.

Featured Session
All Together Now: Advancing LGBT People of Color Workplace Inclusion
The racial and ethnic diversities within the broader LGBT community is one of our greatest
assets that has and continues to allow for advancing civil and human rights, inclusion and
equality. Nationally, it is estimated that approximately 1/3 of people identifying as LGBT are
people of color. Recent reports, including the recently released “A Broken Bargain for LGBT
Workers of Color”, indicate that LGBT workers of color remain at disparaging disadvantages
securing and maintaining steady gainful employment, making advancing towards senior and
executive managerial roles a far reach to many talented workers. Join a panel discussion
including members of Out and Equal’s People of Color Advisory Committee to discuss best
practices for improving outcomes, better ensuring that LGBT people of color are also positively
advancing towards greater inclusion in the workplace, opportunities for professional
development and promotion, and active engagement in LGBT employee resource groups.
