I don't disagree with there being a liberal bias in SV companies, I think that's pretty damn obvious.

I'm curious though why such observations are made for SV only, why don't publicly social conservative organizations e.g Hobby Lobby, Chic-fil-a etc get asked similar questions? It would be safe to assume that things like same sex marriage, contraception would be considered out of bounds there.

Is it just because of the size/reach of the tech industry ?

I guess the argument would be that you can buy craft supplies/chicken sandwiches from alternate sellers

Well no one is forced used SV services, people are free not to use them. Also my point was not from a consumer standpoint but more from an employee/media standpoint.
