There is currently a lot of debate/discussion/controversy going on with regard to the Texas legislature adding a rider to the current budget stating that all publicly-funded universities that had a GLBT(further acronym soup) student center would have to spend the same amount of money on a "Traditional Family Values" center

Hi,
I work in HR now. It is rare for people to actually google you when it comes to a hiring decision. There is too much exposure to risk of discrimination, and rightly so. The company where I work has a policy that strictly forbids HR from doing any sort of social network look-up, and sticks us to criminal background checks.

So, you know, take that for what it's worth.

You have a good point considering the markets you want to work in.

I am opposite-minded. I would prefer to work for small companies that have employers similar to my own mind-set. It would certainly make my job easier to deal with.

I don't know whether I will get bitten by a job I might have had if I wasn't public about my point of view, but right now, I feel like I can afford that risk because I already have a job, and my wife does as well.

I have a Friends list called Trusted, and if I send a link to only those people on that list, no-one else picks it up.

Of course, since my friends are mostly of the same political/religious/etc. mindset as I am, sending links is kinda like preaching to the choir. Which is mostly why I don't do it. And because no-one takes any notice of anything I say. :)
