Well, to be frank, you, and others who I assume are Libertarians in this thread, are the first Libertarians I've encountered to take this stance on the issue. Most Libertarians tend to have an extremely laissez-faire attitude towards so-called "victim-less crimes." Then again, it shouldn't be surprising considering this is a Christian board, and the vast majority of Libertarians out in the mainstream (or perhaps those who garner the most attention) seem to have more of a Secular Humanist or Ayn Randian Objectivist worldview. Worldviews that have directly or indirectly affected Conservatism.

Honestly, I think tech companies would attract Liberals with or without hiring policies, in the same way that the military and police tend to attract Conservatives, and the arts tend to attract Liberals. Even without enforced diversity, White Liberals would dominate tech. There's a reason why Silicon Valley is the heart of this industry in America.
At the same time, I also realize it was not always like this. There was a time when the greatest scientists and artists were amongst the most staunch Christians, and actively promoted a more traditional stanch. I'm not entirely sure what changed so dramatically to make professions so politically polarized. Or was it always that way beneath the surface, and just kept in line by a tradition oriented society…
