Foundry Board: 6 white men, middle-aged
Percentage of LGBTQ in U.S: 3.4%
Percentage of women in U.S.: 50%
LGBTQ individual that should be on board: 0.204
Percentage of women that should be on board: 3
Yea, they're full of shit. That's a 0% diversity score, so objectively they discriminate in employment. Like I said in my above post, I don't even understand (translated for you: It's fucking absurd) how this happens.

At the same time, hiring is one of the better ways to do it. And there is absolutely nothing stopping them from adding a female partner. Without them willing to do that, their words kinda ring hollow. I hope this action has positive impact, but it's hard to get my hopes up with this kind of environment.
It absolutely flies. Just because YOU think they should be all or nothing doesn't mean they should. Maybe you should make a competing partnership and hire all women.
Hiring is not the only way to show support. Public statements apply pressure to other groups, signal that this place is a good place for women to do business with, etc.
