Discourse is how people's views change. That's how society becomes more progressive on on issues like this. It's not like lqbtqia rights & status becomes more acceptable over time without it being something talked about.

Who's we? Middle aged right wing culture warriors on the road to boomer status? The usual hypocritical free speech advocates but also self appointed arbitrators of what people can and can't speak out against?!
That you think an employer would think it's constructive to quiz people on their socio political status based on some meme stereotype of woke is just bizarre.
