Okay, there is still a "glass ceiling" for women and minorities in some career fields, but smart businesses today realize that it's not about male, female, Black, White, Yellow, Brown, or Red, it's about GREEN! Always has been and always will be, LOL! Public image is everything and its just smart business to appeal to as many people as you can.
For example, my band is called the LezBnRocker Chicks and yes, we are girls and we are lesbians. But, we encourage EVERYONE to come to our concerts because guys and straight women enjoy our music and our shows too. The girls and I are artists at getting people to relax, laugh and just have a great time. And, I think our music has a message that everyone can learn something from.
Luv,
Leslie,
