The technology business and its press are run by heterosexualist men who style themselves liberal. They tell themselves they’re pro-gay even while remaining ignorant of our lives and the press’s generations of lies and omissions about us.
The technology press thinks it is striking a brave chord for equality when it whines, at roughly-eight-month intervals, that “too few” women work in its industry. (The male technology press has one “progressive” issue.) But when a competing news outlet with an attitude they dislike scoops them on a story that calls their ethics into question, these bleeding-edge journalists revert to what journalists have done since time immemorial: They erase us.
