Walmart pulls back on DEI efforts, removes some LBGTQ merchandise from website
The big-box retailer, the nation's largest, joins a growing list of companies feeling the heat from conservative activists.
Summary
Walmart is scaling back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts amid conservative backlash and changing cultural pressures.
The company removed LGBTQ-themed items, stopped sharing data with advocacy groups, and phased out supplier diversity programs and its Center for Racial Equity, created in 2020.
Walmart also rebranded its diversity roles, though it will continue funding events like Pride parades under stricter guidelines.
Activists opposing DEI policies, like Robby Starbuck, have praised these changes.

"Trailer park trash" are surprisingly open people. A friend of a friend is part of a pretty small anarchist community within a trailer park. I think a HOA would typically be much more of an issue for queers.

Don't misunderstand. Living in a trailer park doesn't make you trash

Go to one in a rural area and that’s always been the clientele
