'the best development teams I’ve worked on embraced the whole gamut of humanity – a wild mix of cultures, sexuality, motivation, age and beliefs, spiced with maverick spirits and eccentrics. The result being that everyone was jolted out of their complacency, both professionally and personally, and learned to challenge assumptions rather than accept them.'
I still stand by that opinion.

I couldn't have said it better, and I couldn't have said it nearly as well either! I have attempted to make that point before, but probably failed. Our differences is what makes us strong as a people, race, species, whatever you want to call it. The people who fight to tear us apart are of course unwelcome, but just being different is no reason to be excluded.
