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.
Gay people are just as shitty as everyone else. They're no better or no worse. They just have sex with people of the same gender.
Who you want to fuck REALLY doesn't matter, like, at all, imo, in the grand scheme of things.
Unless you want to fuck everyone.
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".
If someone was going to accept a $500 pastry, I'd put my money on the gay guy.
(It's me.)
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.
Yeah, now we have a bigger pool to recruit our sociopaths from. Big win, huh?
Yeah ok.
Yeah i keep seeing so many awful people in leadership positions, but so many good people outside of leadership.
So we have any good leaders anywhere? Its an honest question at this point.
In my experience, occasionally a good one will still slip though the net.
Hey don't leave Trump out of this! He's at least bi.
