For every Dick Costolo there are 100 execs of small midwestern firms that hire exclusively from the protestant church/christian private school network. Even after Bostock people are still explicitly fired for being gay [1], and before Bostock it was extremely common. To say nothing of huge employers arguing You literally can't get a job at many firms around Springfield, MO without attending the right (right-wing evangelical) church. And don't expect promotions into upper management if you're not part of the right small group at the right church. This is particularly true in accounting/finance, but it's also a problem in some of the region's tech shops. Ironically, "politics seeping into the workplace is a left-wing problem" sounds totally insane to anyone who has spent significant time outside of the coastal/metro bubble. It's a huge problem on both sides of the political spectrum.
