Walmart Becomes Latest Corporation to Roll Back Pro-LGBT, DEI Policies
News outlets report Walmart is the latest company to roll back pro-LGBT “diversity, equity, and inclusion” policies in the face of public backlash.
The Associated Press reports that the retail giant also will stop participating in the Human Right’s Campaign’s “Corporate Equality Index” that rates how pro-LGBT different corporations are.
Walmart is not the only major corporation to move away from radical DEI and pro-LGBT policies.
Newsweek reports Toyota has announced that it will withdraw from HRC’s corporate equality index along with other DEI measurements.
This year Target quietly reduced its LGBT Pride-themed merchandise as a result of backlash from its customers.
Home-improvement giant Lowe’s recently revised its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies amidst growing pushback from consumers, and in July, John Deere — the world’s largest seller of farm equipment — announced it was moving away from pro-LGBT and pro-DEI activity as well.
It’s deeply troubling when multimillion dollar corporations use their wealth and influence to promote radical, pro-LGBT ideas, but it’s also encouraging when companies like Walmart rethink their positions and change course. With that in mind, we believe Walmart is making the right decision.
