Some are in this field for the money. (Normies) Some because they like the field and the culture of it. (Nerds, Geeks, etc.) Anyway man, thanks for letting us queers to be a part of the IT community. Seriously, sometimes I wonder if computers didn't exist where did I have to go lol. This community is the only place that I am accepted in.

Interesting. I am not autistic but I am diagnosed with other neurological conditions making me a neurodivergent.
Dude I loved the text. Thanks.

I believe it's just people coming out of the closet or discovering their identity. Personally as a gay dude living in a place where being gay is illegal I believe that computer just attracts people who are outcasts. In the 90s the stereotype of programmers was uncool nerds with no friends. It just looks like computer science and computer engineering is a safe spot for people who feel hated by the world. Like in a Linux forum no one cares about your identity. You get hate for being incompetent not for falling in love with a dude. So they see you as a human. Not a gay human. This what I love about computer community, they care about ideas and solutions that my mind comes up with. They don't care about my love interests.
I don't give a shit. I code because it's fun.
Thanks!
Months ago I reported a Nazi. Like a real Nazi. With a hitler pfp. And they didn't ban him. This is the channel of the Nazi: https://youtube.com/channel/UCZijsnbYQawRHi-Z3DwEcTA
