      1. On a more pro-active note, I want to add this: we, the LGBTQ community in econ, need to be more vocal about the climate toward us. Being a woman or non-white is something you usually can't hide it. But hiding is (and for good reasons) something LGBTQ are really good at. 1/8 @judy_chevalier/1107712232991924225

      I have no intentions to shame anyone. Once again, I completely understand the risks of being open. *Hiding works*. And I'm not arguing for everyone to suddenly come out. I am not fully open in my own department because of things I've heard (first-hand) in the past… 2/

    A clarification: I am not saying *at all* my department is homophobic or anything like that. I actually believe it's the contrary. But one unchallenged bad apple can ruin the benevolence of everyone else. Everyone who want to be an ally should have this in mind.
