About us

PRIDE at BCS is a new specialist group to facilitate the BCS mission through a diversity lens that includes, but is not limited to, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) people.

It will focus on supporting the professional and personal development of LGBTQIA+ BCS members and those in the wider world of IT and digital who experience disadvantage, harassment or discrimination because of their sexual orientation or gender identity in our society.

The group will advocate for the rights of LGBTQIA+ within BCS and educate its membership on the challenges LGBTQIA+ people face and how inclusive technology can help them overcome said challenges. The group will provide expertise to BCS on topics that relate to LGBTQIA+ communities.
