I propose that GTALUG as an organization add its name to the petition, already signed by a healthy cross section of the FOSS world.
tl;dr IMHO the complete brouha is political correctness run amok! I would request that we return to the matter at hand - - - - computers and computing and its tools and leave the political correctness to the bureaucratic elite for whom it has become a driving passion. One needs to remember that the language of political correctness was design to allow one to describe how to pick up a turd by its clean end. Secondly the bigger the bureaucracy the greater the likelihood that it is a refuge for the unable, the unwilling and/or the incompetent. Sloth and indogence are rewarded rather than activity and output. This present direction is in process of destroying our society with that end looming very very close. Regards
