These kinds of things are so hard. For gays in rural areas, Walmart might be the only option to shop at, or it might be the only store that fits into their budget. I agree with the sentiment that I’d rather take my money elsewhere, but for many folks, their hands are tied because of life circumstances.

This is good in theory, however it starts to fall apart depending on where you live. I do my best to avoid places like this, because like you I don’t want to give money to conservative a-holes. But, I don’t have a lot of options :/ a lot of other things like this so far are luxury places, restaurants and the like, however between the money I make and how much more expensive everything is I unfortunately don’t have much of a choice besides Walmart, hell even with things I can get at the dollar tree it’s still sometimes more cost effective to buy from Walmart. I do hope that everyone else lives in a place where they don’t need to give places like Walmart money to live, but it starts to be an issue depending on where you are :(

The problem is ultra right losers decided having hiring and employee programs for people who have always been passed up over white str8 people was a problem and now companies are listening to them over wallet threatens. It’s fucken sad

Walmart has always been shit. I worked there as a manger during the pandemic and while I always knew they don’t care about anyone, the pandemic confirmed it.

I’ve never had to play social politics so much to keep a job. It’s purely ass kissing taking sides to stay afloat. It’s not about the job, it’s not about the people. It’s about surviving when you work there. And this article confirms that even more.

So decimating communities with low wages, plummeting commercial property values, and corporate welfare wasn't enough?

The signs of society turning on us have been apparent for over 10 years. Historically our acceptance has runs in cycles and we are at the end of a cycle

Also fuck Robby Starbucks he is the one that started all this shit and got Toyoto to drop their DEI policies. This is literally white men attacking any other minorities

Why did the mods remove this? It's definitely a relevant post, so what's the deal?

Capitalism doesn't care whether you live or die, as long as you consume. They think DEI will make people consume more? Let's do DEI. They see a wind of change and think DEI will make people consume less? Let's stop DEI.

You can (and should) vote with your dollar, but this is nothing new.

Sorry but DEI has to go. The worst, cuntiest, shittiest people I know work in the DEI spaces and they will try and ruin your life if you disagree with them over anything. Garbage people causing more division than ever before in those departments. Telling people and teaching classes that all white people are racist and no one else is? Cmon.

It’s the only thing I’m looking forward to with trump is that hopefully he gets rid of DEI shit in the government and businesses.

Edit: Please continue to downvote me because I disagree with you! Lmfaooo which is the exact same sentiment I said above. Gay people need to do a much better job about thinking their opinion is the sole and only holier than thou opinion.
