Interview: Adam Bernard, Chair of GM PLUS, GM’s Official LGBT Employee Resource Group

Richard Read
Last week, I wrote about my sit-down with General Motors’ Vice President for Global Diversity, Eric Peterson, who told me about GM’s efforts to reach out to the LGBT community. A few minutes after I wrapped up that interview, I wandered 20 feet across the floor of the 2012 Detroit Auto Show and got a slightly different perspective on GM, courtesy of Adam Bernard. (Pictured above at left, with partner, Rich.) As an added treat, we were joined by the lovely and talented Joe LaMuraglia, Communications Manager for GMC and a noted friend of Gaywheels. [...]

2012 Infiniti G37 IPL Coupe

I enjoy the Nissan 370Z, but its hyper-tweak personality can wear me out.

Reviewers took one look at 2011’s cheapened interior, and suspension, and had three letters of their own; “WTH??” [...]

Interview: Eric Peterson, GM’s Vice President for Global Diversity

Richard Read 2
A couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to land an interview with Eric Peterson, General Motors’ Vice President of Global Diversity. Despite the fact that he was very busy and that we were in the middle of the 2012 Detroit Auto Show — literally in the middle: we chatted at a table between a couple of GMC displays — Eric gave me nearly half an hour to ask questions about GM, its brands, and its views on LGBT employees and customers.

Nick Kurczewski 1
The Citroën DS4 has been voted European Gay Car of the Year 2012. The title was awarded by website Legorda.fr, which devotes itself to promoting gay and gay-friendly car clubs and events around the world.

In France, the entry-level DS4 costs approximately $27,500. [...]
