Wired Magazine Faces Backlash for “Gay Tech Mafia” in Silicon Valley Article

A look at the backlash surrounding WIRED’s investigation into a so called gay tech mafia and why critics are questioning its reporting and framing.

...not one but two White Lotus–themed gay tech parties, both equally extravagant. “Girls are not present,” says that same angel investor. “They are just not there.” There is also a “Gay VC Mafia” group chat that is, as one member describes it, “60 percent business” and “40 percent hee hee ha ha” about “classically gay topics.” With a steady churn of tech events aimed at gay men, the social incentives stack up fast. Connections blur—“professional, physical, or sometimes romantic,” as an AI founder puts it. The pull of this bubble is so strong, he continues, that it’s “an uphill battle to socialize with straight people.”

Who knew?

Openly gay men in the 2025 Trump administration hold significant, high-level positions, including Scott Bessent (potential Treasury Secretary), Richard Grenell (Kennedy Center/former Acting Director of National Intelligence), and Jacob Helberg (Under Secretary of State)...

Who knew?

Me.

I had two bosses who were an item.

They were sometimes called the most poorly closeted couple in Silicon Valley. Not that they were flamboyant, they just didn't make a big deal of it.

The proximity of Silicon Valley to San Fransisco and the high pay meant a lot of my coworkers were different...

Oh yeah, lots of gay women! Mostly in the fab, few in management.

What no gay women?

Gay men do not like lesbians. For one thing, they are women.

[Vaduz]

They are pretend women no sale.

Strange how most gay women don’t flaunt it like males do and they have more toys?.

Kinda like the lavender mafia inside the Vatican.

Hmmmmm. Maybe...

[Lee N. Field]

What no gay women?

Too much drama.

[SaxxonWoods]

If Gays are normal and just part of the human condition, why does everyone have to keep talking about them all the time?

[null and void]

I guess so.

[Salamander]

Wired magazine is still a thing?!?

[SPDSHDW]

Even by leftist, Godless, “Logic” Sodomy is not natural. Does not work with Darwinism. Sodomites do nothing to perpetrate the gene pool.

But Satan, The Democrat’s god, can make illogical lies “logical”.

From the article: ...Girls are not present...

No different than any other gathering of tech bros.

WTF are you talking about? For every breezy short shorts, pocket full of rainbows homo I’ve ever seen there’s a dyke butch haircut, flannel shirt, walks like she just dismounted a horse clam diver.

"Over here, we have a male-affectionate, easy to get along with, non-political agenda lesbian. Down here, we have a man-hating, angry as f___, agenda of rage, bitter dyke. Over here, we got Santa Claus, and up here the Easter Bunny. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first?"

"The man-hating dyke."

"Good. Why?"

"I don't know."

"Because the other three are figments of your f_______ imagination!"

[Chickensoup]

True in fab.
