Am I the only one that notices this seems to be the case with a lot of tech companies? It seems like most non-tech industries are still full of baby boomers who are far less accepting than the younger generations who make up these types of companies.
I tend to think technology and IT are more pragmatic than liberal, but I believe it doesn't matter anyway - it probably has more to do with the social norms of a generation. Technology and IT are full of young people. There is higher support for gay marriage among the young in Mississippi than among the old in Massachusetts (if I'm remembering that statistic I read correctly). Expect tension over this issue to evaporate as time goes on.
Generally. There are still assholes in every walk of life. Good that they are being challenged more and more and hopefully, eventually their outrageous prejudices will no longer have anywhere left to hide.
I don't know if it's what you said as much as brainwashed religious folk who are scared of change. I find it interesting how one can justify sexual descrimination but not racial, as if you have any say in your genetics. Just listening to Rick Santorum last night made me wodner if he believes in separation of church and state.

No. Of course he doesn't. Be very afraid of people like this.

I think that if you can justify sexual discrimination, scratch just a little below the surface and you'll probably also find a colour bias there as well. Along with a few others. I find prejudices tend to come in sets with a lot of a certain type of person.
