I'm disappointed that this story is already flagged - while it may not be immediately relevant to the tech industry in some ways, consider that many of your LGBTQ+ colleagues in the US are deeply, deeply worried about these anti-LGBTQ laws popping up all over the US. It's difficult to focus on your job when you're being slowly legislated into a second-class citizen in much of the country. These things are on our minds constantly, and deserve discussion in our field. We, as an industry, wield enormous power in the US economy - and what we do or do not say as a field has tremendous impact on the way these events unfold. It should be relevant for discussion here, even if it's uncomfortable for some.
