drupalchix,

Wow, this is gross!

Rahul Dewan is the founder of and sits on the Board of Directors of the @drupalassoc. Today on LinkedIn we spouted off against question about gender and sexuality on a survey created by Association staff.

We can talk about whether we are surprised that an outspoken anti-LGBTQIA+ person is on the board. But the real question is will he remain on the board after this?

drupalchix,

@drupalassoc

Update: Rahul Dewan of has resigned from the Association board, and posted this extended defense of his terrible ideas:

@drupalchix @alcinnz @drupalassoc Well, if he is, it will say a lot about the Drupal Association. None of it good.

@pcambra @drupalchix @alcinnz @drupalassoc Yeah, good thing he’s no longer on the board but he missed a trick not titling that post “I’m a proud bigot and I’m raising a son who’s a proud bigot and it’s ok because it’s our culture.”

@aral @pcambra @drupalchix @alcinnz @drupalassoc I am from his purported “culture,” and I assure you that this is emphatically not our culture.

@pcambra @aral @drupalchix @alcinnz @drupalassoc Man who claims, “Honestly, i do not care about sexual preferences of people or how they want to live their lives. I do not care what individuals do or do not do in the conduct of their lives,” goes on to explain to readers exactly why he does care an awful lot about it. 🤦‍♂️

@pcambra @aral @drupalchix @alcinnz @drupalassoc And if his kid is accused of toxic masculinity, and his response is to be more belligerent about his views, then yeah, that’s maybe where his son gets his toxic masculinity from.

@pcambra @aral @drupalchix @alcinnz @drupalassoc Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. Career-ending consequences included.

@pcambra

Not directly relevant, but think of all the therapy the kid is going to need. I don't know if he will do it, but he will definitely need it.
