You: >a good candidate doesn’t care about that LGBT stuff Me: >a good candidate cares about that LGBT stuff Call it a different worldview or whatever, but I don’t mind making my profile/timeline suboptimal for anti-LGBT people. Otherwise it’s just the LGBT folks in my network engaging all by themselves, and it’s a lot harder to ‘other’ and exclude people with vocal allies. And yes, it’s 100% about engineering. I can engineer under awful heat/noise etc conditions, but if I was being dehumanized and excluded, my performance would suffer a lot more.
