Target has been banned from a Pride celebration in Minnesota after the retail giant announced a rollback of DEI policies.
On January 24, organizers of Twin Cities Pride, an annual Pride celebration bringing together the LGBTQ communities of St. Paul and Minneapolis (where Target is headquartered), announced that festival organizers severed ties with the company, which has been a longtime sponsor and its second-largest donor.
Twin Cities Pride Executive Director Andi Otto told The Star Tribune that Target's recent decision to eliminate some diversity, equity, and inclusion programs was the “straw that broke the camel’s back.”
Meta's Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly ordered the removal of tampons from men's bathrooms at the company's offices in California, New York, and Texas.
The tampons, initially included in men's bathrooms to cater to transgender or nonbinary employees who use such facilities, are one example of a deluge of virtue-signaling moves taken by Meta to placate conservatives as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office.
Last week, CEO Zuckerberg announced that Meta would eliminate its third-party fact-checking system and replace it with a user-based "Community Notes" feature similar to the model employed by X.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has signed legislation allowing parents to opt their children out of certain lessons and limits -- or even outright bans -- discussion of LGBTQ-related topics in classrooms.
The Republican signed the bill into law on January 8, arguing that it strikes the right balance by allowing parents to have more of a say in what content their children are exposed to in schools.
" the first teachers, they're the best teachers, and that's very, very important," DeWine told reporters at the Ohio Statehouse, arguing the bill keeps parents informed of what's going on in schools.
