I am new to dev.to, and somewhat new to the Developer community. When I took an interest a few years ago, I wasn't sure what to expect. I've been pleasantly surprised, time and time again, at how open and accepting the Developer community is and has been. Happy Pride Month, Fellow Devs!

And for those who are hostile to the cause, Pride is not just about sexuality anymore, it's about inclusion!

Happy Pride Month! ๐ŸŒˆ I fully support the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. Let us work together to create an inclusive community where every individual is accepted as it is.

I have written an article detailing how we can help the LGBTQ+ community. You can read it at dev.to/chetanan/how-can-we-help-lg....

I really hope that all of those people who are disgusted at this community keep their beliefs to themselves.

I see a lot of deleted posts, and a questionable comment (not sure if it was meant jokingly or not). Otherwise, it appears to be a rather inclusive and supportive space. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Itโ€™s always meaningful to see spaces in tech recognizing and uplifting LGBTQIAPN+ voices. This year, I had the chance to publish my first paper exploring the developer experience of LGBTQIAPN+ people in Agile teams. Iโ€™d love to connect with others in the community and hear about your experiences in the industry too.

If you'd like, here's a bit of what Iโ€™ve been working on:

Well I don't think Sexually based topics should be brought to the context of this community do you agree?

Hey there! DEV is an inclusive community that celebrates diversity and champions folks from marginalized backgrounds. This is a big part of our values and it's important to us that we create a warm, welcoming space for LGBTQ2S+ folks.

While we want you to feel comfortable expressing your feelings, we have a Code of Conduct you agreed to when you signed up that makes our values clear and states amongst many other things:

Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
...
Dismissing or attacking inclusion-oriented requests

While your statement seems like it's coming from a genuine place, it still feels dismissive and close-minded to insinuate that you don't think this belongs here. This topic fits our community very well and is important to us. LGBTQ2S+ folks have been marginalized in tech throughout history and continue to be; we believe it's important to recognize these facts and to try to create a space that includes and celebrates our fellow LGBTQ2S+ developers & folks working in tech.

Going forward, please keep these thoughts to yourself. We don't want to explain or debate concepts of social justice with you and we don't want you to put others in a position to explain themselves either. This post is meant to be celebratory in nature and is not an invitation for debate.

Not my bag. I never celebrate holidays about lifestyle. Seems weird.

Thank you for being polite, but I'd like to tease this statement out a bit. If you celebrate holidays at all, I imagine at least one of them would be about the way people live their lives. Memorial Day? Father's Day? Maybe I'm wrong, but from my view, these holidays are about the lifestyle choices that these veterans or fathers made (or had forced upon them) that improved the lives of people around them. We have these holidays because we want to shine a spotlight on their struggles and their contributions.

Similarly, holidays like Black History Month and Pride Month exist because there's still work to do in making sure that all people can live peaceful, equitable lives without fear of social harassment (e.g. deleted comments below) or legal discrimination (e.g. bills lately proposed by the Texan GOP-controlled Senate to pick something recent and local to you). If these problems didn't exist, there would be no need to shine a spotlight on it. Since they do, it's good to talk about them so that we can find a solution collectively. On the flip side, minority groups often make significant cultural contributions that are overlooked by mainstream society. Americans owe most popular music within the last 60+ years, from Elvis Presley to Eminem, to Black American Jazz, R&B, and other early developments.

This is all to say, all power to you if you personally don't like to celebrate these kinds of holidays, but I hope this gives you a little insight as to why they exist.
