I would prefer that corporate policy not give them this new, shiny tool to harass me. The problem, in this instance, isn’t the banning of political speech per se - rather it is that the ban can be cruelly weaponized against regular speech you just don’t want to hear because it offends your own “political views.” That’s going to remain true as long as anti-gay views are legitimately held by a mainstream political party here, which is very much still the case today.
