Fallacies of VIsion is happening more and more
My collection of short stories titled Fallacies of Vision presented scenario's, situations, that would lead to a totalitarian world. Once such story that didn't make it to print was the homosexuals intimidating churches with law suits and disturbances in churches to force churches into acceptance and to omit doctrine that cast the homosexuals in a negative light.
Yesterday I purchased some non-profit software. A new 'condition' was in place that I had to click to accept. The wording of this condition is very concerning.
"I understand that Microsoft will send licensing information to my organization email address registered with TechSoup and I will need access to that email address to obtain this product. I have verified that the address is up to date in the organization details section of my account.
To comply with the Microsoft corporate citizenship nonprofit giving antidiscrimination policy, I certify the following:
My organization does not have a policy or mission of discrimination in hiring, compensation, promotion, termination, retirement, training, programs, or services based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, gender identity or expression, marital status, pregnancy, sexual orientation, political affiliation, union membership, or veteran status.
OR
My organization is a religious organization, and any discriminatory practices of my organization are exempt from laws that otherwise prohibit such discrimination."
Why must anyone need accept the behaviors and conduct or another? What I see the OR is the shot across the bow saying "comply or face exorbitant expenses for products you've come to depend on." No one has the right to force another how or what they should think or what they should believe.

I've noticed in Windows Server Core that there is native support for a version of linux. I'm thinking, if history has any relevance, that MS will be targeting linux after to coerces people back into relatively dumb terminals and remote servers (Azure).
Zorin OS
and
Mint.
I expect to try both over the next month.
What version of linux do you recommend? I have a full shop and several marginal systems should the need arise.
I am setting up Linux tomorrow. I'm tired of dealing with the slowness of windows.
My gut is telling me to make a wave over this. The response could be bad for my job/employment or ability to do my job.
I know you have heard it before, but freedom isn't free. Sometimes it isn't simple either.
We must accept that some modern 'convenience' is a trap to enslave us, and we must find alternatives while we can.
Examples: Google search, Windows 10, Facebook, Twitter, network "news", cellphones and "smart" appliances (statist 'intelligence' devices)
The basic laws that dictate the functions of the Cosmos, the Universe and all related consequences require that positive electricity seek to be grounded, North magnetism be attracted to South orientated magnetism and all physical living things require a Male and Female components that mirrors the basic laws of the Universe.
Without said laws and functions...Nothing could exist. Only Evil would reject the basic laws of existence...it is depicted as the snake consuming itself.
Strict compliance would be rare, it would be followed more in the breach than in the observance.
Consider- no labels on bathrooms/rest rooms, no age questions or retirement schemes, no affirmative action, ..
no sponsoring of sports favoring tall people, no chess clubs as favors Russians,
and try not answering any questions on an application form on those topics.
On face value it is meaningless, just for show, posturing, but in real life it is designed to discriminate and get away with it.
In The Epoch Times the following is arising in antithesis to the censorship you encountered.

"Nick Vujicic, a motivational speaker who traveled the world through his organization to speak to millions about his Christian faith, became a co-founder of a pro-life bank after he was kicked out of his bank, a false article was published about him, and a grenade was thrown into his house.
Vujicic learned from the co-founder of his pro-life bank that “most banks give philanthropically under social responsibility to give to causes that provide [to] the biggest abortion clinics in America.”
Vujicic said that his new bank, Pro-life Bank, will be a religious for-profit entity and will not fund abortion.
“But we will actually fund 50 percent net profits to Judeo-Christian line nonprofit organizations that are biblically aligned and doing the will of God, according to our belief systems.”
Vujicic attributed the refusal to provide services to certain individuals by private industries to new standards in business management called Environmental, Social, and Governance considerations (ESG). A person may be evaluated based on whether he or she goes along with the business’s nonprofit causes or is environmentally friendly, Vujicic said."
Most will not objectively look at the difference of "Corporate Citizen Policy" and the association of law. Yet the lead-in is that Microsoft knows the law.
Regarding your story. Homo-sexuality is anti-life. The purpose of life is simply, continuity. Only two conditions support continuity; processing of energy and propagation. While there seems to be evidence of genetic disposition to non-heterosexual relations, the vast majority, as I conceptualize, are Hedonists who want license to practice anti-life.
