I think you're being a little heterophobic here.

Unless it's a compulsory event he can fuck right off.

Is there not a general argument to be made against political fundraisers in the workplace?
If it's after hours, I suppose he can go swing, but I'd rather not hear about any of that shit in work. From any side of any debate.

It doesn't seem like that good an idea, although in this case I'm obviously all in favour of the cause/event. Bit of a hornets nest.

Haven't you said you work with some of the only republicans in Massachusetts?

My company has come out, so to speak, publicly as supporting gay marriage. Having thought about it I'm glad they're not pretending they don't wield loads of power in the political arena, which is how I see companies who think politics shouldn't be officially allowed in the office. It does help that they're on the side of 'good' though.

I work with some hardcore guys.

Most anyone that makes decent money works hard for it and will pay a chunk of tax.
Many resent that. That resentment is the shop floor for the GOP.

Is there a difference between a multi-national taking a stance on an issue rather than some small indigenous one? Not sure how I feel on that one. I know twitter has got a lot of attention based on calling for a yes but I don't see them as just piping up on the issue now. I know someone who works there and based on his instagram and shit they seem to do a bit for their LGBT employees when it comes to sponsoring banners and stuff for the pride parade.

Having said that, marriage equality isn't a political issue in my mind, it's a human rights one. I'd probably object stronger if a tech firm were trying to throw it's weight around on fiscal policy and the like.

Most (maybe all) charity fundraising is at least partly political yet few ever bat an eyelid at these types of events.
