given the overall favourable situation on the IT job market, maybe it's not bad to have a filter against having to work with hypocrites?
Either the company values prude/neoconservative value signaling (the at least I wouldn't want to work there and they should openly tell people what ideology is expected) or the HR person abused their position and did not do their job in finding someone that fits the skill set and role.
Either way is hypocritical in my book.
