Gayglers Explained

Gayglers is a term for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees of Google. The term was first used for all LGBT employees at the company in 2006, and was conceived as a portmanteau between "Google", the company they worked for, and "gay", a term referring to homosexual men, and by extension, LGBTQ people.^[1] In 2021, the employee resource group was renamed Pride at Google to be more inclusive.^[2]
