Your religion and sexuality SHOULD have nothing to do with OpenStack.
How can we make that the case without basic facts about our community's
composition? Information inevitably leaks day-to-day so simply
pretending our differences don't exist is unworkable and erasive (like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisexual_erasure). There is a natural
impulse to flock with those closest to oneself and conscious monitoring
is required to prevent this causing an imbalance.
