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.
What about off business?

I'm in agreement. I think VA Yankee is twisting it here and he or she or they them finds or has offensive.

Why twist what they're saying?
I agree here. We caught VA here. I was thinking the same thing. That is why I mentioned what if someone had an LGBT marriage photo on the wall on a zoom chat. Would that be offensive to some? According to VA Yankee, answer would be no.

Thank God this pandemic is almost over. So now it's time to o get woke again. As for me? An LGBT marriage photo or straight marriage photo or interracial won't bother me at all. I love all people.

As the article referenced by the OP applies to a business article I would have thought it was business. but think what you like because it has gone down a path that I never commented on or said, try looking at the context that a statement or a response was provided for. People out there follow trends like the article reflects on just as my real estate example point out or in education where they say don't use a red pen they all seem ridicules but there are people who are going by it....

Lots of triggered folks in this thread, though.
Why is it when someone doesn't have a substantive argument, they accuse those holding an opposing viewpoint of being triggered?

I know it's a form of manipulation meant to silence people, but it's ineffective.

Nothing substantive to say.

The problem is this. We have come so far in getting people to understand there is nothing shameful in homosexual relationships and marriage, which is a good thing.

So it is not okay to suggest there is anything to hide when it comes to heterosexual marriages and relationships.

It's like the whole trend of white males being a bad thing. If racism is wrong, it's wrong for all. If one's sexual preference is okay and to be accepted, it should be that way for all.

Pretending this is okay and that people are triggered is nonsense on both counts.

Well, I'm a Dem, so I guess you'd put me in the blue church. I'm just not a very happy Dem and I'm certainly not liberal.
