Breaking news: There are gay people in positions of power in Silicon Valley in 2026. That not-so-surprising fact is the center of Wired's latest cover story, which hit the internet Thursday. The internet immediately reacted, in part thanks to some, uh, unusual imagery that accompanied the article. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. The handshake cover wasn't the only bizarre choice. Inside, the magazine used an image of a musclebound man with San Francisco's Salesforce Tower between his legs.
