Companies were comparatively quiet during pride last year, and i saw some people pointing out that as annoying as corperations are, it is a really bad sign when they back away, and what it signals for lgbt progress. This rollback is an even worse sign, since it has a real effect on people trying to get jobs and keep living.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah now that MAGA is fully in charge and getting more popular, I feel like we're about to really see which companies are full of shit with their pride marketing and which ones actually stick to their principles.
Like all of them
So they’re going to increase hiring based on race instead of capabilities? (Majority of managers are white guys with a bias towards white guys).
There’s going to be a bias either way. Why not use one that’s spelled out rather than implicit in each person?
Because the former is legal, and the latter can be handwaved away.
Let's be real, they're not axing it because of diversity, but rather the two words that follow (Equity and Inclusion) are an anathema to share holder value.
I guess I'm done eating McDonald's for a while... Been easier with the high prices, but this make it super easy.
Your cardiovascular system thanks you.
For sure. It's not that I frequent McDonald's, maybe a dozen times a year with traveling, but now I have another, non health related reason to actively avoid them.
More of my bad habits should have corporate slipups to turn me off to them. Ideally not at the expense of others but maybe they all just say something heinous and then double down.
Corporations are killing you for profit.
A dozen? My god, those veins must be pumping cholesterol instead of blood
12 times in 12 months is not a high amount and the amount of cholesterol gained from eating the equivalent in mcdoubles is negligible to my diet as a whole. There are people that go at least once a week.
