I?m gonna start a thread to post all the funny snowflake stories out there on both sides of the aisle. I?ll put up today?s most ridiculous and comedic story...
Google staff complained word FAMILY instead of children was homophobic
Google had to rethink the word 'family' in March 2017 when staff complained
Employees at California HQ said the term was 'offensive, inappropriate, homophobic, and wrong' when used in a presentation about a children's product
Approximately 100 people seemed to agree with an internal thread from someone who stormed out of the offending meeting two years ago
The person said the word 'family' is not equal to having children and Google should stop the use of it in that context
Various employees said they referred to animals, spouses, boyfriends, parents,and multiple trans-feminine partners as their family
It was also said not all children have families so the words aren't interchangeable
VP Pavni Diwanji told staff to be more conscientious about referring to family
