Not that these companies are your friend, but it’s a reminder that not everyone is falling in line

    In finance I suspect the only thing they care about is if you make more money than the average employee in that role. The only color that matters is green.

      Exactly. There was a cost/benefit analysis, and they, at least for now, decided not to piss off the LGBTQ community. But that could change as soon as something else becomes more profitable.

      Their decisions are not based on any sort of ethics or morality. Purely, instead, on what is most profitable and most risk adverse.

      And thus is the cornerstone, the only cornerstone, of rainbow capitalism.

      The term “Fairweather friends“ cannot possibly do this situation justice.

      Edit: for what it’s worth, I could never have been more proud than to know, at this time, the LGBTQ community holds enough clout to have any influence on anything, let alone this much influence. We should not waste it, nor this opportunity. The coming months and years will be critical for our survival.

        Oh I don’t think they are anyone’s ally. Im talking about on an individual level within their ranks they don’t care about race they care about money and if DEI programs are actually producing more money for them they will do it.

          Yeah, that’s what I said. I’m not trying to criticize or anything, just to say that, yes, I definitely agree with you.
