"This is bigotry, plain and simple. Its taking sterotypical prejudices based on what may be real-life encounters with a relatively small sample group, and applying them to a wide class of people. It’s gross and it needs to end."

Gay people. We get a few odd jokes and have to endure the existence of “Big Bang Theory”. I had hoped this article would be about admonishing programmers to stop being bigots.
