Google looks at key words used on the page or in the name or captions of the image.


It might about the types of descriptions people might use for the image, and the discussion about the image. Pages that mention the race or orientation of a couple might also be pages that show diversity in the photos.

I don't care who you've chosen to commit to that's an individuals choice. But as so many posters on these boards have reflected, commented on and rallied against alternate lifestyles would seeing that during a meeting affect their choices, I believe it just might.
But Yankee, why do I have to worry to such extent about whether my personal life will be seen negatively by something as commonplace as a wedding photo? Authenticity is all but lost. How deep should we go down this rabbit hole?

Sounds like a call to mandate the uniformity of subjective perception of what "reinforces bias", in a nation predicated on free thought and expression.

Good luck with that one, commies.

You may have been able to effect legislation of gay marriage from-the-bench, but the vast majority of marriages are between a man and a woman and therefore that union is primarily represented in society and will be primarily represented in photos as a function of the numbers.

In academic settings. This can be negative for LGBT, or single people people who failed to marriage or failed at marriage. I can see how this can be viewed as bigoted in the light of LGBT. But how is this thing racist. And VA Yankee twisted this thing. Their is nothing wrong about the marriage photo.

So what about this? No takers? Shows the utter double standard and hypocrisy of liberal/progressives, doesn't it? They get to complain about seeing evidence of hetero marriage, but yet constantly promote and GLORIFY evidence of the above and condemn anyone who would say otherwise. Why? They are SOCIETAL BULLIES and Fascists.

I don't know anything about Zoom business meetings.

But Emily Post and all other manners and home dec people advise that personal photos should never be displayed in public areas of a house. It has always been considered tacky.

Same thing as having a clock in the public areas. It was considered the owner was more concerned with time than the guest.

When I have a zoom meeting, I do it in my home office, which is not a public area of the house, yet, an appropriate place for a zoom meeting, as well as an appropriate place for family photos.

According to these two women, a family photo is a microaggression. I’m sure that somehow they probably consider a home office to be a microaggression too..

I just find it amazing that people like this can actually function in society.

Photos of heterosexual couples are the problem according to them, not a family photo. They said nothing about photos of homosexual couples.

You didn't read the actual article, linked in the OP’s article. The one written by the authors. They did say “family photos”.

Symbolism. Be conscious about what your “virtual environment” might symbolize. It’s unlikely that in face-to-face meetings, participants be seated in front a wall of family photos. While virtual backgrounds may be a way for participants to express themselves, it is important to understand who is being excluded and included with these types of actions.

I may not have gotten that far. The initial paragraphs involved heterosexual couples and how they could potentially harm other groups due to their bias.

But thanks for the correction.
