This is a great idea. Great that people are coming out and feel more inclusive within the dev community. But I would like to see stories that are actually related to the dev community, and not just I am LGBTQIA+. That is not inspiring and people don't like that. Share stories that talk about how being LGBTQIA+ has affected your dev career positive or negative, how have you overcome negative aspects within the community. Was there a job or some conference or something that helped with that. Seeing a coming out story that has nothing to do with development on DEV.to just makes it seem intrusive and actually brings a lot of negativity within the audience. As a part of the LGBTQAI+ community, it would make a hell lot prouder to see LGBTQAI+ community people talking about dev, career-related stuff instead of just coming out stories.
