Gayglers was a term for the LGBTQ+ employees of Google, until it was replaced with a more inclusive group name, Google Pride. The term was first used for all LGBTQ+ 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, LGBT people.[1]
Other than its own in-application resources, Google provides no way for users to report anti-LGBTQ+ and other hate speech violations on its platforms. There is presently no way for the public to get in contact with Google's internal LGBTQ+ teams or the "Gayglers" community within Google to report instances of hate speech or discrimination. [2]
