In light of the reactionary backlash against Godot, I want to make it clear that AzuraCast is built almost entirely by members of the LGBTQ+ community, a community we strongly support.

When large parts of your existence have been deemed "political", it is impossible to separate politics from software development without putting queer people in a position where they aren't able to tell their story through their work. We build software for humans, and in the process must care for those humans.

As free and open-source software, anyone in the world can use AzuraCast, and we have no intention of changing that.

We do, however, exercise broad discretion in who we provide support to and who we welcome in our official communities. We have a strong Code of Conduct emphasizing a culture of inclusion and respect, and we do not tolerate hate in the spaces we control.

You do not need to agree with us politically to be a part of our software. We insist, however, upon respect and decency.
