Wrestling With Inclusion at LambdaConf

So what you're saying is, you're cool with discrimination, so long as it's not against you.

So when someone decides to hold a dev conference but chooses to disallow any gay/lesbian developers, is that also totally okay?

Yes, I am perfectly okay with discriminating against Nazis.

Since when is ALL discrimination bad? I discriminate against shitty people all the time, and so do you. Don't even pretend you don't, no one will believe you.

You're projecting a bit. I try hard -- consciously -- not to shut down and shut out people who need grace as much as I do (either more or less externally-visibly).

Your own code of ethics is not universal. There are people who think and operate differently from you.

Which is exactly the point of not discriminating whenever it's avoidable.

Your code of grace is also not universal and is almost certainly the minority.
