Did the author of this tweet engage in “queer-erasure” by not mentioning that she’s homosexual?
Who the #### cares! Did you erase the part that you are a ####### idiot.
I don't think her sexuality has any bearing on her being selected CEO of Land of Lakes. So I believe the answer to your question is no.
So if someone is homosexual you have to mention it every time you say something about them?
How long till they send the “we need your donation letter”?
Hopefully she’s a fan of athletics

Looks like if he would have clicked on the link and read further, maybe he wouldn't have made a post that makes him look like an idiot. @Redman97 if the other post (Thomas Arce) is you the idiot comment still stands.
Wtf is going on in here? An Iowa state alumni just became a CEO of a major company. We should all be proud and happy.
I learned a new phrase today, queer-erasure.
I think Thomas Arce esq is a ******* idiot.
Edit: and @Redman97 too for not just linking the tweet in the first place.
Unless being gay was the reason she got the job, it doesn’t need to be mentioned, especially in a headline tweet with limited characters.
Should we start posting everybody’s sexual orientation when they receive a promotion?
“Jon Doe was just promoted to police chief. He is a straight male btw.”
“Jimmy is the new CEO of Wal-Mart, he’s black and gay.”
See how weird that is?
You didn’t mention the context in your original post. You wanted to cause trouble based on one tweet.
So, yes, you were being an ******* by bringing it up and trying to get people riled up.
So instead of posting a thread about how cool it is that an Iowa state alum is the CEO of a major company and that she happens to be a woman and gay, you are trying to cause some stupid ******* fight.
