Derek,

Very interesting question and very good responses so far as well.

Derek, when it comes down to it, respect & trust is the basis on any relationship business or personal.

Since we're talking business here, if you work for a company with
questionable business practices and policies then your personal sexual preference will not allow you escape that shadow. People may
socialize more with you at the 'meet and greet functions' and while you may distribute and collect your share of business cards, but that doesn't mean anyone will be sending traffic your way once they get home. Likewise, a personal reputation of being less then above board will not compensate for working for a great company regardless of being str8 or gay.

I also think there is a big difference in attitude and respect here.
Specifically, if a company produces a quality product that delivers, that's very different then just slapping something together and rolling it out as if from, out of the blue, it is the next great thing when there's clearly been no research or real effort put into it other then the minimum as an obvious attempt to just ”make some money off the fags."

The proof they say is in the pudding however. Craig and Dwayne from ManSites, whose personal preferences are dry-docked in land of the heterosexual, come to mind immediately as two universally respected, trusted and well liked members of the gay internet community.

In other words... it's what you do and how you do, not who you do, that earns respect
