Do you know of specific stories? Have you experienced this yourself?

I am a gay man who has raised money, and networked with various gay VCs. I’ve never seen this kind of behavior from them personally.

I am a straight man who has experienced this personally. I can't give too many details without revealing who I am and who the VC was, but I can say the VC works at one of the largest corporate funds, and I was a bootstrapped founder at the time.

Why don't you want to reveal who the VC was? I'm not trying to imply you should, just curious about your reasons not to.

He is married to a woman and has kids. Also, one of his partners invested in my company, so it's a small world.
