*meek voice* sorry...

crotch hole in the booty shorts to show off my skyscraper

I was trying to pretend I didn't click it and saw it.

If two men can shake hands with their dicks, they're not gay they're aliens.

Who the fuck cares?

Lavender-scare ass dogshit, go play in traffic for publishing this

The fuck is wrong with you? Fire the artist, and the writer.

Are you kidding me with this photo, high level warning for coffee spit take.

Wired: “Are the gays basically Jews in tech?”

Well, that’s a pic that will get attention…

highly recommend you delete this image and, if it hasn't already gone to press, change it for the print edition too

Right?!

we can hate Peter Thiel and Sam Altman and not do a "jews run everything" 2.0

This is the most batshit image I’ve ever seen from a news organization

Weird ass way to spend whatever good will you had accumulated from reporting on doge

THIS IMAGE 👍🏳️‍🌈 IS WEIRD AND WONDERFUL LMAO

That's a gross and grotesque picture.

Thank you for articulating this!

As a gay man in Silicon Valley, what the fuck am I doing wrong that I’m not aware or invited to any of this shit.

I don’t mean to direct this stern lecture at you and your innocuous curiosity personally, by the way; apologies that it seems that way. These are just grievances at the general situation.

Yes, there are ---- in the ----- industry. So?

WTF is going on in this picture? Is this how you hold the flagging flags?

I don't think gay people do that

Good job perpetuating the egregious gay Nazi myth. Anything to smear gays though, huh?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love the photo. I’ll get to the article when I stop laughing.

Hey go fuck yourself??? Framing this as a gay people problem and not a fascism problem is heinous.

What the actual f***? Do better.

Hey @wired.com, want you to know that I just canceled my subscription over this. You can absolutely talk about immoral gay men without resorting to gross stereotypes and making homophobia seem like a justified, principled stance. Shame on you all

hey this is a really fucking weird angle who asked for this like techbro creeps need guillotined whether they're gay or not lol damn this is weird y'all are very weird for this.

This is definitely fine and definitely not the equivalent of saying Jews run everything.

Oh it's paid walled too. Coooooooool

Mixed feelings about this article. As a gay man there is something empowering about the idea of gay men having so much power and influence in tech, but that doesn’t match my own experience in the industry. I read the full article and I worry this is just fuel for homophobes to say “I told you so.”

The idea of choosing a magazine by its Better Business Bureau rating is killing me

what, and I can't stress this enough, that ACTUAL f is this writing? And imagery? And ... all of it just all of it

WIRED desperately running cover for Epstein billionaires like Gates by blaming gay people, and of course the entire article is just repackaged homophobia, from the thesis to the images.

Gays and incels?

Whoever thought of this image...it hits in so many ways. Bravo 👏👏👏

So you're a bunch of pedophiles trying to blame gay people for your perversion preemptively so that when shit hits the fan you can try to pretend it's a gay issue

this is fucking stupid

Docking has changed

bigotry isn't new or foreign to the US

Trying to blame the gays for AI eh?

Who shared our secret handshake with the Straights™️?!

Extremely offensive illustrations, so offensive I won’t waste my time reading the article. Bezos, Zuckerberg, Gates, Musk. Yeah, gay mafia running the world <sarcasm>

Wow. You could really multitask if you had one of those

I misunderstood you, you were saying the image is homophobic, not the person commenting. I agree with you.

Im pretty sure this image is homophobic and this is just a bunch of VCs claiming they didn't get funding cause thry didn't sleep with gay men I dunno with how the state is right now its WERID as fuck

que imagem é essa mano

"On platforms like X, the clues are there---" Okay, I've heard enough.

dastardly gays running a secret tech cabal? imagine running this story for any other minority group

Or the article

First of all, no. Second of all, immediately fire whoever came up with this image.

WIRED, I want the shit your executives smoke to order write this article. It must be good kush enough to make me fucking backflip or some shit. Please, let me have it.

You can go fuck yourself.

like, that's not even the most hate-crimey thing in the piece. who the fuck edited this shit

Fascinating read. The real story isn't about rumor — it's how any tight-knit community (gay, Mormon, Stanford alumni) builds trust networks that compound into outsized influence. Would love to see similar analysis of other "invisible" professional networks.

Did someone tell you today is homophobia is ok day? If they did they lied

delete this piece you absolute fucking losers

This is a bad headline and a bad image and a bad article and Wired should feel bad.

Yeah, lots of people just shaking dicks out here.

Looks like they're giving each other a HANDjob. 🤣

Just hyper patriarchy at work. Nothing new in end stage capitalism

Hey what the fuck

As a straight-ish man, I can't believe Wired would publish this homophobic drek. Do better, and put that "journalist's" number in the bin.

@katie-drummond.bsky.social hey, Katie, why is WIRED publishing homophobic conspiracism?

one of the best accompanying images of any tweet ever

blaming the pedophile child trafficking on the gays again, huh? get a new shtick.

Are 'Log Cabin Republicans' in SV? Where are they?

Gay mafia, Wired? Fucking really? Man, you were one of the better ones.

Yes, a evil fuck who happens to be gay. So?

might be uncomfortable to get into, but gay fascists are a historical phenomenon and their identity as gay men informs their particular fascism. understanding that is key to fighting them. (i have not read the article, so idk if that's their angle--hope so!)

well, talk about offensive images. Sexist anyone?

Whose they, sunshine?

Quick follow up question, what the fuck?

Did BigBallz write this?

there was for sure a better way to illustrate this article.

This is fucked up what are you doing

Da fuq?

it’s me i’m the gay tech mafia

"This article is exclusive to subscribers." So what, hate-bait for subs?

This article, based on lots of rumors — and far too many straight dudes insisting they're actually the ones being discriminated against — really doesn't capture my experience, nor that of any other gay coworkers or friends in the industry.

Ok, just full-on trying to do a The Lavender Scare, huh?

No, I'm stealing the image and sharing it with my yaoi friends.

"Hey, should we cover the fact that billionaires and VC are an absolute plague upon everything and point out that as the common factor?" "No, let's feature some clown writing about how it's all because these few people are gay with some cartoonishly offensive imagery." Eat all the shit, @wired.com

I am back, the article is has bad has the thumbnail picture. A serious plot hole being : While alot of tech has been made and discover by queers individual. None of them seem to run anything.

“Wired investigates” … people’s sexual orientation?

JFC, what's with the casual homophobia? Gross.

Very normal choice of story and cover art!

That image...

yes, everyone's known that for, uh, decades are you demanding a name change

How it's going... (And, honestly, I wish I'd thought to report this.) Hours later, I'm still just really disappointed in you.

Wow. Delete all this and apologize. I thought you were better than this. I mean, that image is just terrible and whoever approved that should lose their jobs. Seriously, I really thought you were better than this.
