Yay, we received first hateful comment!
FOSS project: *adopts LGBT colours in their logo to show respect for contributors*
Bigots: PROPAGANDA EVERYWHERE, I'LL DO IT MY WAY!!!
Here's the truth: They won't.
Bigots lack the mindset required to be a good engineer, as well as education.
Every educated person (don't confuse it with degree) accepts others as they are, because no human is illegal.
We've seen few projects trying to do it "better" than us, and utterly failing to achieve anything meaningful. Destroying people's machines in the process and blaming their users.
That's the reason why so many FOSS projects show some sort of sign that LGBT people are welcome.
We're not an exception, and we'll do everything we can to make people feel welcomed and safe.
We're even joking that you can tell the quality of code produced by a certain project by the amount of catgirls involved... but there's some truth to it
Anyway, I'm happy our logo acts as deterrent for awful people :)
