- djcapelis 14y agoSome technical talent is directly impacted by these types of laws and we care. The last time I got an e-mail asking me about a position in Qatar I just sent back a link to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Qatar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Qatar along with a few polite words. The guy was sympathetic, but we both knew that was the end of that conversation. For some of us this isn't a matter of politics, but an impact on our quality of life. And for others of us, it may just be a matter of politics, but even then, that doesn't mean it's trivial.
