Disney’s board recommended voting against the proposal to end its participation in the HRC’s Corporate Equality Index. Shareholders concurred, with only 1% of shares voted in favor the proposal, according to the preliminary tally.

That’s damn near unanimous.

Hardly surprising considering it was submitted by a "right-wing think tank National Center for Public Policy Research" aka American legal troll farm. They tried using Disney's perfect Corporate Equality Index (CEI) score as a reason keeping ties with the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.

It noted that since 2007, Disney has received a “perfect score” on the CEI, “which can only be attained by abiding by its partisan, divisive and increasingly radical criteria.

Sooo by continuing to have an equitable environment that anyone can thrive in means its radical and divisive and therfore bad for business? What the actual fuck. The cognitive dissonance is so unreal with some of these people that I honestly think Kingdom Come 2's ai have more sentience than them.

Make EDUCATION great again :(

Fair and the facts/I agree, this appears to be non-news made into news because the key words and fear (while justified) about the current decline in the US; alternate headline should be: 'Frivolous, Expense-inducing proposal rejected by Shareholders', aka not news.
