“Straight white man” has become a buzzword now. Is there any evidence that any of these companies trying to ban politics were oppressing gay people?

As a gay person in tech I have never felt oppressed or heard anyone else report such a thing.

If Basecamp was engaging in this kind of discrimination then the story would be very different.

I'm imagining right now how this spherical bad white man spends a day harassing everyone with sexism, then at 5 pm grabs an envelope with a fat day pay, turns to the more qualified woman sitting next to him, makes a disgusting self entitled smile, and on his way to the exit gives a high five to his even whiter boss.
