The earlier funny post about TD bending backwards, appears deleted. TheLayoff are you censoring content? Do we need to distribute messages underhand, peer to peer, now?

So it's ok for you to talk about your opposite s-x wife/husband at work but it's not ok for me to talk about my same s-x husband/wife?
You're missing the point. If nobody cares, then somebody should be able to discuss their same s-x partner without an uproar.
I agree it should be no big deal. But apparently it is because you won't quit talking about it.
To those on this thread who are talking about being accepted for their s-xual orientation, no one cares one way or another and not holding it against you. Work is about work and not the place to talk about this or solve the social issues.
Work should not have any s-x, politics, or religion involved, endorsed, or discussed.
Teradata can request a post be pulled but it’s up to the admins.
Well this thread went off topic, didn't it? Anyhow, all the threads and posts I've noticed disappear are those that break the site's rules. It doesn't matter if you think something is humorous, if it breaks the rules mods will nuke it. I've had a post removed and I know exactly why (didn't know at the time, though.) Just honor the rules and your posts will stay up.
I am a former Teradatan who never felt comfortable coming out at work for fear of losing my job and livelihood. I left half of me at home every day. This caused me unnecessary pain and suffering for years. No one should ever feel that way!
This is NOT a choice. Love is love! The sooner you understand these two concepts, the sooner you can begin the process of accepting those who may still be in the closet to you, which may include someone in your family.
If you’re curious, I am a woman.
If it was this upsetting and traumatizing for you to hear about a same s-x couple then you are living a sheltered and myopic life. This is no different than a man or woman mentioning their wife or husband.
Kudos to the person that mentioned their partner for having the bravery to do so. Maybe if more of your friends and colleagues did this it would not be so shocking for you. Yes there are more g– people in your workplace.
Also I'm not sure why you need to go into the 'me Tarzan wife Jane' rant. Good for you for being hetero. It's not a preference it is an orientation. G– people are not confused. They know what they want. And some are brave enough not to hide it. We should respect and not shame it.
Seems to be the case.
Personal preferences shouldn't be discussed on All Hands calls. It's not fair to the rest of the employees.
It wasn’t funny... imagine when you and your wife are compared (even though implicitly) to animals, etc. Still laughing?
You may not agree with rights of others, but you do not need to belittle it. There are other ways to argue your point.
Having said that, I agree that the avalanche of diversity messaging is becoming a nuisance and looking more like a way to distract (from never ending transformations).
And yes, I’m a minority. (In case, you care or want to make fun...)
I've had two posts removed, and they did not violate the Ts and Cs, just ripped on the ELT.
ME probably flagging posts that are too truthful.
Yup!
Yeap this is the true face of diversity farce in action - just like the Joker gloomy grin after the face paint fades. You don't like the mirror? Deal with what's behind it, smashing the mirror won't make you different.
Worry not, I managed to screenshot the post, if I get some spare time I may try and re-post it. What are you going to do, take down the whole site?
Yup, Teradata somehow gets them deleted; it's happened before
