From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Every corporate tech job I've had has dozens, if not hundreds, of openly queer people openly identifying as such. And that's how it should be.
Whether it's as simple as a rainbow or trans flag emoji in slack, as individual as speaking up internally about problematic anti-queer messaging, or as deep as an affinity group who coordinates pride events and such, it is and should remain acceptable and protected.
And honestly same with furry. I don't care if who I am as a person may make someone uncomfortable. That's solidly not my problem, and shouldn't be an HR issue either.
Sweet Jeebus, do people here not ever take the time to read and comprehend a damn thing before they bandwagon and react?? You're saying things that apply to zero of what I've said, and what the original topic is about. What in the world are you even on about? Who is saying anything about people identifying however they want? Did you even read the linked thread ffs? 🤦
I read your comment in full before replying to it. I don't know how to help you connect the dots here.
Who ever said anything about people identifying as anything? That has nothing to do with what the discussion was. You're extrapolating on something that isn't there.
