9. Why we’re having this dialogue
ALL of us
– have biases
– are human beings
– want to be the best
for the human
beings we serve
Yes, ALL of us
“..biases that we do not
acknowledge but that persist,
unchallenged, in the recesses
of our minds, undoubtedly
shape our society.” -
Rudman, 2004
10. How we’re having this dialogue
Use of language
– “discrimination,” “homophobia,” “bias”
– if defensive, notice it and accept the
discomfort of unlearning and
relearning.
– “This requires a desire to know,
motivation to become informed,
willingness to correct mistakes”
Personality lens
– Amiable-amiable with a z versatility
– aka “Double rainbow,” “Glass 3/4 full”

uniquely human.”

Dates: 29 Jul to 3 Aug 2013.
Location: Brno, Czech Republic
Open to: TA junior officers
(2Lt to Capt)
YROW is sponsored by HQ Army,
eligible for MTDs, and all travel costs

It consists of a week of seminars,
practical exercises, command tasks
and a lot of social interaction with
about 18 other NATO member states.
A social, interesting, and useful

command at the conference demonstrates a
marked and increasing commitment to good
management practices in the Army.
The Army aims to create a working
environment in which everyone can be
authentic about themselves, because
it improves operational effectiveness,”
concludes Major Jenkins.

the Armed Forces, and will be organised by

soldiers from the
Lesbian Gay Bisexual

community met those in the chain of
command at the third annual Army
LGTB conference held in March.
The theme of this year’s conference was
“Cultivating LGBT Talent” to address the fact
that there are few visibly LGBT soldiers or
officers in senior roles despite recent statistics
from Phase 1 and 2 recruits indicating that
around one in six new soldiers joining their
units in 2013 are in this group.
“The concern is that LGBT senior soldiers and
officers feel unable to be open about their
sexual orientation or gender identity, or that
they leave before achieving senior positions,”
explains Major Damian Jenkins, chairman of
the Army LGBT Forum.
“We don’t know how big the Army LGBT
community is, but the first Army-gathered
