  "textContent": "In a 2024 interview with _The Advocate_ , Sam Altman said he didn’t really think about being a gay CEO. Over the years, he's quietly become a gay tech titan, part of a tiny club that didn’t openly exist at the turn of the century. Its members are inspirational to some people by that virtue. But measuring their actual impact on other LGBTQ+ people shows a less rosy picture.\n\nTheir tech companies have been known to wreak havoc in the lives of marginalized people. They have enriched themselves by aligning with Donald Trump and the far right. And even when it comes to other gay people in tech, they’ve modeled privacy over pride.\n\nFor _The Advocate_ 's March-April cover story, Kat Tenbarge explores what gay leadership at the top of tech actually means — for everyone else. Read the full story.\n\n### Have the gay tech titans turned their backs on us?\n\n\n\n\n### Get our print edition delivered to you!\n\n\n\n\nGet a year's subscription of _The Advocate_ and _Out Magazine_ for just $9.95.",
