Same as I would not think a straight 'cis' person would be right for the role of LGBT officer

Or a white person in a position about black peoples rights.
Oh yh, I disagree with all of that tbf. Passion, reasearch, an interest, ambition etc can make up the difference imo. Best person for the job should get employed, straight people shouldnt be excluded from applying to be an lgbt officer just because(?) etc etc.

It would be a desirable quality to fit the bill on paper I'm sure, but to exclude people just because(?) or to only include people of a certain persuasion in the interview process(?)* seems daft. If the best person for the job isn't reflective of the people they represent, why would you hire the 2nd or 3rd best instead of the actual best person?

*also, I think the equal opportunities act would make that illegal
