That is a good and valid point. Interestingly, the opposite might hold as well - gay opposition would not work for a gay CEO.
Wouldn't it be better if political opinions like that stayed private, so that people can work with each other?
- dalanmiller 13y agoIdeally, probably. But as humans I don't believe we can always leave 100% of us at the door, and it seems unrealistic to switch from one human to another just because our physical space changes.
- Drakim 13y agoPeople who are opposed to homosexuality and gay marriage can simply not be homosexual and not get a gay marriage. They can literally throw their hands up in the air and say "I don't want any part of this topic" and go on with their life, ignoring it. Just like how somebody who isn't for interracial marriage can simply marry a person of their own race, or somebody who isn't for marriage at all can simply not get married. Gay people don't have that luxury, because the issue being discussed concerns their actual personal rights. Wether it's gay marriage, adoption or anti-soddomy laws, it's things that affect them no matter if they want to be part of the debate or not. They cannot throw up their arms and go on with their life, because they can now not get married, not adopt children, and so on. It's easy to say that they should keep their private life out of politics, but politics has forced their private life into the spotlight.
