Re: Diversity

I find that sad. While I am often the opposite (I promote same-sex marriage, and I am an American liberal democrat), your own political views would not even come to mind if I were considering you as a developer. It's funny how the most "inclusive" people tend to throw people out for their own personal opinions.

I would even hire a pedophile nazi wife beater, if they were good at their job. I may be apprehensive to hire them to look after jewish children, but as a developer for a software project, or even a leader? Sure. A person's personal opinions, no matter how much you disagree with them, should not be any reason to fire someone (or refuse to hire them, for that matter). A conservative may disagree with a gay person's opinions, but they are not allowed to refuse to hire them because of that. Yet a group who is pro-gay marriage can refuse to hire (or keep) someone who is against that. I find that double standard extremely repulsive.

For the record, I promote freedom of speech (no matter how much someone may dislike it) without impact on your professional life.
