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.

    More like Trump making bigots bold.

    Bigots need to be put back in the closet where they belong. The world was better when you didn’t have republican harpies shrieking shit like “your body my choice”, and the N-word in public.
