The Contentious Relationship Between the LGBTQ+ community and Tech
summary
Tech offers stable jobs for many queer people but also produces concrete harms and failures: corporate rainbow capitalism that spends on Pride floats while denying donations, unpaid ERG labor that leads to a missed promotion, hiring practices that blacklist social posts, HR systems that force legal names instead of preferred names and pronouns, AI and forms that bake in binary sex options, platforms that fail to ban the Nazis and enable viral assaults like the case of Malaysia Booker.
