While the the tech industry influx has, in part, helped turn the Mission District into the Marina 2.0—for example, the hip neighborhood’s last remaining lesbian bar, the Lexington, was recently closed and turned into yet another mixology-tinged craft-cocktail lounge—it would be unwise and inaccurate to describe the LGBT community as anti-tech.
However, that’s just what these stenciled tags claim, which have appeared all over the Mission and Castro as of late. "Queers hate techies," it reads. Arguably a false sentiment as the tech industry employs countless LGBTQ ilk. Fortunately, someone added a lovely response. Behold:
