Your post title is in contradiction to this article. Unless you are somehow saying bigotry is a good thing?

Hey, GTBU, do you have kids? Friends? Relatives? Any of them gay?

I love how some people pretend this isn't about what it's really about, and then want everyone else to pretend they're just as stupid.

No one dictating you do anything this is just another concept of modern business and there are those who think its relevant.
Is the example in the article your idea of offensive? The article does not present it in the way you are attempting to twist it, by saying it would be better for the business. It's telling people they are offending others by having wedding photos and thereby attempting to force correctness. That is social engineering by shame.

Lets stop here, I haven't changed anything, I have neither said I agree or disagree I have only said
"the only thing that makes sense is realize what people are seeing if your involved with an online meeting.".

You are welcome to twist this into whatever you want because at this point you are on your own tangent with it. Love it, hate it, protest it I really don't care....

But the study didn't address same sex wedding photo's did it? They're not saying the notion of same sex marriage might be offensive to some, which could cost someone business, so be aware of what people are seeing on zoom.

They're saying heterosexual wedding photo's is pushing a bias and potentially alienating and harming people who aren't heterosexual, which is utter bull crap.

Why twist what they're saying?

It's a study being done by social scientists. Big whoop. Nobody is forcing you to take your wedding picture off the wall if you're doing a Skype meeting.

Social “scientists” LOL I guess the science is settled!

I am not twisting anything said by the articles, you are. It isn't presented as some innocuous "realize what people are seeing if your (you're) involved with an online meeting" like you try to twist it into. It is very specific in identifying its offended minority subjects with microaggressions - very tiny perceived aggressions.
