He also said this in the face of WH pressure on DEI programs. What some may call pandering, I call it doing the superficial shit it takes to run a business while sticking to core principles. One of the stronger corporate DEI statements around at a time when most companies were going slash and burn.

Just something to consider before we throw him under the bus for “getting down on his knees” to Trump …a slur that’s about as non-DEI as it gets, especially when directed at a gay man.

“As the legal landscape around this issue evolves, we may need to make some changes to comply, but our north star of dignity and respect for everyone and our work to that end will never waver.”
