The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) released it’s annual “Corporate Equality Index,” a report measuring business support for LGBT activism.
Despite recent reports of some companies backing away from “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” (DEI) policies, “Corporate Equality Index 2025” (CEI) shows more companies than ever promoting homosexuality and transgenderism, both of which are a big part of this woke agenda.
HRC, the largest LGBT activist group in the U.S., reported the growth in corporate participation in a statement:
The radical group said this represents a 5% increase over the previous year, adding that this was “despite anti-LGBTQ+ attacks on businesses.”
That quote demonstrates the way HRC tries to have it both ways: On the one hand, they portray themselves as a powerless, oppressed minority; on the other hand, they are able to strongarm hundreds of companies, “employing more than 22 million Americans,” into supporting LGBT activism.
They can’t have it both ways.
The CEI proudly touts the growing number of LGBT-identified individuals and their combined financial clout, warning employers:
With nearly 30% of Gen Z identifying as LGBTQ+ and the community wielding $1.4 trillion in spending power, retreating from [activist LGBT] principles undermines both consumer trust and employee success.
In 2002, with much less stringent requirements, HRC’s first CEI included 319 companies and reported only 13 top-rated companies. The activist group has upped the ante several times since this initial report, creating more stringent requirements for businesses.
It is no longer enough to be nondiscriminatory: Corporations must actively affirm, support and celebrate homosexuality and transgenderism.
HRC explains that its Index uses four criteria to rate companies on their support for LGBT ideology:
Nondiscrimination policies across business entities
Equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families (including coverage of transgender medical interventions)
Supporting an inclusive culture
Corporate social responsibility
The last two areas are worth exploring a bit.
“Supporting an inclusive culture” means a company has diversity training programs, integrates the ideas of “intersectionality” into professional development, provides LGBT Employee Resource Groups and tracks LGBT data within the corporation.
The final category, “corporate social responsibility,” demonstrates that, to receive a perfect score, HRC expects businesses to become activists.
Corporations must actively recruit LGBT-identified employees, utilize LGBT-owned suppliers, market and advertise to gay- and transgender-identified consumers, provide financial support for LGBT events and organizations, weigh in on public policy issues, and provide “LGBTQ+ inclusive products and services.”
The 765 corporations which received a perfect score from HRC include familiar names such as:
You would be right to wonder what producing and selling computers, shoes, petrol, soft drinks, coffee and entertainment has to do with LGBT ideology and politics. Yet all these businesses – and many more – are supporting and promoting the work of groups like HRC.
While we strongly believe all people should be treated fairly, with kindness and compassion, we oppose the efforts of activists and allies to inculcate homosexuality and transgenderism into every area of our culture.
In addition to transforming the corporate world, HRC, other activist LGBT groups and their allies have successfully redefined marriage and family in our country. Through legislation and litigation, they work to deny individuals – bakers, florists, teachers, web designers and students – their free speech and religious freedom.
HRC’s Welcoming Schools Program sexualizes and confuses schoolchildren by providing and reading them books about homosexuality and transgenderism, bringing LGBT issues into core subjects like English and Social Studies, and training more than 133,000 educators “for creating LGBTQ+ and gender inclusive schools.”
Daily Citizen has reported that several major corporations, such as Walmart, Harley-Davidson, Tractor Supply, John Deere, Ford, Coors, Stanley Black & Decker, Jack Daniels, Craftsman, Caterpillar, Boeing and Toyota have recently announced they are pulling away from DEI and “woke policies.”
Yet it remains to be seen if those corporations are backing away from the LGBT activist agenda. While we’re happy about this growing trend, the Human Rights Campaign’s “Corporate Equality Index 2025” leaves us skeptical about the business world stopping its support and promotion of sexual sin.
