Why bitbucket team changing my account icon to rainbow.

[Monique vdB]

@Ram S thanks for the workaround!

[Johnny Cardwell]

I wonder why it's just on Bitbucket and not Jira or Confluence?

Thank you for the snippet!

You give specificity to a group and then force Bitbucket users to view the graphic. Why not make it optional? Why not promote awareness to other groups with other graphics. Why this specific group, and then generalize the reasoning to be inclusion of acceptance of all groups to combat hate? Seems unprofessional to me and not in line with your intended message. Your audience's perception is what matters, not what you perceive. That's what translates over to a business and financial decision. You will undoubtedly lose money over this decision, based on what is perceived.

@Johnny Cardwell The Atlassian Community is a place of inclusion, for LGBTQ people, for Muslims, for Christians, for atheists, for cisgender and transgender folks, for everyone. We don't support hate or hate groups, and we treat each other with kindness and respect, per our community guidelines. 

Westboro Baptist is a hate group. So, you know, the opposite of all that. 

[Steven F Behnke]

Why do you think it's exclusionary?

[Johnny Cardwell]

I wish Atlassian would do the same. Celebrating gay pride is very exclusionary and offensive to our growing Fundamental Muslim population.

@Steven F Behnke Don't worry - this world is a blend of everything, good and bad, big and small, light and dark.

Live for yourself not for others ;-) .

[Steven F Behnke]

Because we live in a land of hate and confusion. :( 

[Vickey Palzor Lepcha]

Is this even an issue ? LOL

[johncardwell]

I agree. Focus their social justice resources on to better uptime. That would help the gay community mre than stirring people's emotions (which does nothing)

You don't need to take a passive/defensive tone here. I was simply explaining that I couldn't respond to the last paragraph.

I also couldn't help but notice your complete disinterest in proving or sourcing a single thing you said.

[Evandro Vitor]

Steven, the tone of your answer proves my point - highly controversial.

Is your last comment "language-shaming"? I feel very sorry for not being born in an english speaking country. I'm sorry, I promess not to do it again.

[Steven F Behnke]

The tone of my comment proves your point? My tone proves that it's controversial? That is rubbish and you know it. You're taking what you want out of what I said, rather than taking it at face value.

Please, source ANY of the garbage you've decided to spew on our lovely forum. I'd love the chance to rip your lies apart in front of you.

• What "LGBT Political Organization" do you speak of?
• Where is this common knowledge that of the questionable elites you speak of?
• Microsoft, Apple, and Target, ALL of my examples, have ALL shown rainbow colored logos: Are you completely unaware of this?

Your last paragraph is completely broken english and I cannot decipher it.

[Evandro Vitor]

Steven, the tone of your response proves my point - highly controversial. 

Related to funding, I find interesting that you ignore the fact that those political organizations are profusely funded by objectionable elites. That is common knowledge nowadays. Your comment sugests that either, you're not an insider from one of those lobby organizations, i.e. just a supporter, or you completely ignores how it works.

Related to Gitlab, you're pointing to an issue opened by an organizer, who proposes attending to different events organized by 7 differents organizations, one of them part of the LGBT lobby. They are not changing their logo (yet).

As I said before, the day that they decide pissing off people with any controversial action, people still can download the opensource code and install by themselves, for free.

When you talk about Microsoft, and other major companies, you're mixing up two differnt things. One thing is their support for identity and quota policies, and other thing is their support for the LGBT (political) movement itself. Both things very controversial and related, and present in many big companies, but different. This topic here is not about that, it's about pissing off people with direct promotion of a particular political movement. 

In other words. People is not interested in how do you hire and organize people, or if you apply or not quotas inside your comapny, but it's very controversial for many people, your promotion (not only support) of a particular political movement/lobby, over others that are completely opposite or not opposite but equally important.
