LGBTQ+ activists call for new strategies to promote equality after Target backlash

... the LGBTQ+ community are calling for new campaigns to convince corporate leaders not to cave to anti-LGBTQ+ groups.

“We need a strategy on how to deal with corporations that are experiencing enormous pressure to throw LGBTQ people under the bus,” said California state Sen. (((Scott Wiener))), D-San Francisco, a member of the LGBTQ legislative caucus.

According to this crisis management expert, when companies like Target get political, the risk of losing loyal customers is real.

Now, business crisis consultants are weighing in on the high price a company can pay if they take a stance on a social issue, without considering how its customer base will react.

“One of the things you have to understand about a company is they want everyone to love them ... “But now they’re in the politics business where you don’t get everybody – you just get 50%.”

Anheuser-Busch Just Tanked One of Its Biggest Customer Satisfaction Rankings

The Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index is the "national benchmarking tool on corporate policies, practices and benefits pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer employees." For buyers who support LBGTQ rights, the index is a much-used guide for where to spend their dollars.

In a letter sent on May 9, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) notified Anheuser-Busch that its 100-point score on the index, as well as its designation of "Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality", will be removed. The beer giant has 90 days to respond in defense of its ranking.

[*** THIS is how they push this shit on the public. We need a similar score for normal people to fight back against the delusional degenerates.]

In other news ...

Anheuser-Bush (BUD) stock is DOWN 18% from April 1, and tanking hard again today. It has LOST $24.5 billion in market cap since April 1.

Target (TGT) stock also tanking today, and down 19% since April 1, which is a LOSS of $14.4 billion in market cap.

Combined, the two companies have LOST $40 BILLION in company valuation.

This is a GREAT case for a shareholder lawsuit against the directors and officers of these companies, as well as a RICO (racketeering and influence of corrupt organizations) criminal case against both these companies, the banks involved in their funding, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, which is pushing this on companies (has nothing at all to do with building shareholder value, which is what officers and directors are REQUIRED to do), and also the Open Society Founcation and George Soros, who is behind that foundation.
