While I'm not part of the AdobeProud list, I can lurk and listen. And some LGBT friends pointed out troubling exchanges, and eventually left the company over it's intolerant wokeness.
Examples:
- 2019.08 - There was discussion about Adobe allowing Gender pronouns, and someone brought up, 'What about countries/cultures/voters who find some of this offensive, silly, or against their beliefs?' The response on this thread was basically an only slightly more polite version of, "Fuck the Nazi's". All in the name of tolerance. The problem is that one of the most vocal people is in HR: quickly becoming the Department of Rainbows -- which shows no tolerance for diversity (of thought).
- 2019.11 - Another discussion on whether sales/support folks could opt to drop accounts of evil organizations against their beliefs (like the dreaded FoxNews). To be fair, the Fox rep pointed out they were only professional and never asked for anything bad/wrong (as snowflakes see bad/wrong). But others kept going on the thread. Someone asked the reasonable response, "Should we enact the same policy for organizations that offend others beliefs: like Planned Parenthood and catholics. The response by internal folks was pretty nasty about abortion being a civil right, and that the person asking that question was wrong for dragging us off topic and into a hostile area. The HR rep seemed to site with the hostile mob that chose to miss the point of the question, and mentioned to the asker that they should 1:1 off line if they still had a problem.
- 2020 - A friend was getting in trouble for asking questions and decided that it's better to submarine (go silent and deep) that expose himself to the matriarchy of intolerance (towards anything that differs from far left orthodoxy).
