Tractor Supply and John Deerewere some of the first companies to do so, reversing some of their DEI policies and pulling sponsorship of Pride events and other social or cultural awareness events. In the months since, several others have followed suitincluding Harley-Davidson, Lowes, and Fordand revoked their participation in the Human Rights Campaigns Corporate Equality Index, which evaluates companies on how inclusive they are of LGBTQ+ employees. Now, Toyota is joining their ranks, as the latest target of an anti-DEI push spearheaded by conservative activist Robby Starbuck. The automaker will no longer sponsor LGBTQ+ events and plans to narrow our community activities to align with STEM education and workforce readiness, according to a Bloomberg report. Next vehicle wont be coming from Toyota. --- Hmm... <cite>BearlyWilling posted [p:982433536] in Toyota cav...

See what their corporate executives support behind the scenes. That is the true measure of a company.

pinky0926 10/07/24 2:11:55 PM #3:	Worth remembering that literally no corporation has any ethical values whatsoever. When whatever company puts a pride flag up in June, it's because a marketing team told them that would be good for their brand.

GranAures 10/07/24 2:22:53 PM #12:	The sad thing is, is that the chuds won't come back and will still screech "DEI/WOKE!" the second they work with somebody that doesn't fit the cis het white male normative they want to enforce, so, much like Bud Light and Target they are only alienating both sides all to appeal to a loud minority. Which is also a bit funny because that loud minority is upset that minorities are being "catered" to when this is literally appealing to a loud minority. Though the hypocrisy is lost on them. --- Just because I have 99% of a heart doesn't mean it can't kill me. It's tried. Twice. My body has a dongle and my heart doesn't care.
