The short answer is 'no'.
I was lucky enough to work with Stephen Frost at London 2012. Stephen and the Diversity and Inclusion Team at London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) worked with my learning team to try and ensure our learning materials were as accessible as possible.
While we focused on specific issues that learners could have, it also made the whole team realise that what we were producing was of a better quality and more accessible for everyone - not just those people that may have a specific issue.
If leaders could be more empathetic to those that may be perceived as different to them, then it would not only benefit those people but also the people who are like that leader.
Please read Stephen's article below, it puts the point across much more eloquently.
People are inspired by leaders that believe in an inclusive mission. It’s more effective to lead by example and show rather than tell. There’s a saying that goes, people will forget what you said, forget what you did, but never forget how you made them feel. This has never been truer than with LGBTQ+ employees.
