Tim Cook, Sam Altman, Peter Thiel.

We have enough data points to suggest that being gay doesn't insulate you from being greedy and corrupt.

That's important, too.

    We have a code of conduct training at work that includes and anti corruption segment (nothing weird, just stuff like "a vendor buying lunch at a sales meeting is fine, but no gifts or having lunch at extremely expensive places", and "some places give small symbolic gifts around holidays, usually a pastry. That's fine. Do not accept a $500 pastry")

    A couple years ago they updated the module and the person engaging in non-obvious corrupt business practices became gay in passing. The overwhelming response by a lot of the company was "yay! We made it guys! They realized that we like bribes too! I feel so seen".

    Why would it? I have never thought to myself, this seems like a bad person but he is gay so maybe not. :)

    In a different time, it was popular to think that capitalism would be better if minorities were winning at it.

    A few girlbosses and Diddys later, I'd like to think we know better.
