Google Gay Extremists Melt Down Over the Use of the Word "Family," Outraged That It Implies "Children," Which Is Even More #Triggering Than "Family"

If you're not thinking about homosexuals and homosexuality 24/7, you're a homophobe.

They must be "centered" at all times. Especially by heterosexuals.

But it wasn't just gays who complained. It was also bitter childless semi-heterosexual cat-lady women who for some reason want credit for having children despite not in fact having children.

Google employees melted down after the word "family" was used in a company presentation, documents obtained by TheDCNF show.

Employees were upset that the word was used in a way that links families with children, which they argued was homophobic.

A Google vice president acknowledged that the word "family" had sparked "concerns" about inclusivity.

A Google executive sparked a fierce backlash from employees by using the word "family" in a weekly, company-wide presentation, according to internal documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Many Google employees became angry that the term was used while discussing a product aimed at children, because it implied that families have children, the documents show. The backlash grew large enough that a Google vice president addressed the controversy and solicited feedback on how the company could become more inclusive.

TheDCNF received the documents from a source who insisted upon anonymity in order to share them.

One employee stormed out of the March 2017 presentation after a presenter "continued to show (awesome) Unicorn product features which continually use the word 'family' as a synonym for 'household with children,'" he explained in an internal thread. That employee posted an extended rant, which was well-received by his colleagues, on why linking families to children is "offensive, inappropriate, homophobic, and wrong."

He wrote:

This is a diminishing and disrespectful way to speak. If you mean "children", say "children"; we have a perfectly good word for it. "Family friendly" used as a synonym for "kid friendly" means, to me, "you and yours don't count as a family unless you have children". And while kids may often be less aware of it, there are kids without families too, you know.

The use of "family" as a synonym for "with children" has a long-standing association with deeply homophobic organizations. This does not mean we should not use the word "family" to refer to families, but it mean we must doggedly insist that family does not imply children.

Even the sense, "suitable for the whole family", which you might think is unobjectionable, is totally wrong too. It only works if we have advance shared conception of what "the whole family" is, and that is almost always used to mean a household with two adults, of opposite sex, in a romantic/sexual relationship, with two or more of their own children. If you mean that as a synonym for "suitable for all people" stop and notice the extraordinary unlikelihood of such a thought! So "suitable for the whole family" doesn't mean "all people", it means "all people in families", which either means that all those other people aren’t in families, or something even worse. Use the word "family" to mean a loving assemblage of people who may or may not live together and may or may not include people of any particular age. STOP using it to mean "children'. It's offensive, inappropriate, homophobic, and wrong.

If you want to say "My gay boyfriend," say "my gay boyfriend." Don't use the word "family" when you only mean "my gay boyfriend." "Family" has always implied children.

If someone's just speaking of a sex-partner or a spouse, they don't need the collective noun "family" to refer to a single person.

You fucking narcissistic brain-damanged c*nts.

Roughly 100 other Google employees upvoted the post, signaling their agreement. Other Google employees also echoed their displeasure with the term. "Thanks for writing this. So much yes," one wrote.

"Using the word 'family' in this sense bothers me too," wrote another employee, who felt excluded by the term because she was neither married nor a parent.

Neither married nor a parent -- so, legally single and without children. But still wants to be included in the word "family" anyway.

"It smacks of the 'family values' agenda by the right wing, which is absolutely homophobic by its very definition," she wrote, adding: "[I]t's important that we fix our charged language when we become aware of how exclusionary it actually is. As a straight person in a relationship, I find the term 'family' offensive because it excludes me and my boyfriend, having no children of our own."

The word "squadron" excludes you or your boyfriend, because you have no planes. Perhaps the Air Force should be forced to stop using the homophobic, exclusionary word "squadron" as well?

"My family consists of me and several other trans feminine folks, some of whom I'm dating. We're all supportive of each other and eventually aspire to live together. Just because we aren't a heterosexual couple with 2.5 kids, a white picket fence, and a dog doesn’t mean we’re not a family," another employee added in agreement.

Hi, I'm a transexual weirdo in a polyamorous relationship with multiple other dregs. We hope to live together in a collective fuck-pile. We would like to be called a "family" like a boring heterosexual family of 2.5 kids and a dog. We hate stereotypes but it's okay to stereotype heterosexuals because Breeders, Am I Right?

Another employee wrote that "using 'family' to mean 'people with kids' is also annoying to me as a straight-cis-woman who doesn’t have or want kids. My husband, my parents, and my pets are my family."

Of course. We should pretend your cats and dogs -- by which I mean "cats" -- are children so that you don't feel left out of a group you've had eight abortions to avoid joining.

Meanwhile, the Cuckservatives are eager to cede more and more power to exactly this set of anti-family, sexual-extremist weirdos to control our speech using more and more intrusive and abusive means of doing so -- how long until MasterCard says you can't have a credit card if you use "family" to include children? -- and will tell us that is the TrueConservative, Pro-Family thing to do.
