  This illustration, from a Wired article about the existence or non-existence of a “gay tech mafia,” is, I would suggest, wildly misjudged. [image]

  The cover art alone should be enough to click the link, but the story from @zoeSaintBernard is utterly brilliant https://www.wired.com/... [image]

  Come for the @wired.com cover art.  Stay for the incisive, nuanced, wild ride of a story.  I urge you to read it in full.  —  “When I call up my longtime industry sources to get their thoughts on the gay tech mafia, not only have they heard of it—they have highly specific notions…
