The number of Fortune 500 companies willing to publicly disclose their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices has dropped 65 percent in the last year, according to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC).
The HRC, likely the most powerful gay and “transgender” lobby in the country, typically keeps track of which companies are doing its political bidding. According to a 2026 report, only 131 Fortune 500 companies in 2026 are participating in HRC’s Corporate Equality Index — the primary measure of corporate ideological compliance for HRC.
That is down from 377 Fortune 500 companies in 2025. Part of the decrease, HRC says, is so companies can maintain federal contracts as the Trump administration has cracked down on DEI and awarding taxpayer dollars to companies that advance the ideology.
The mere fact that these corporations drew back from their public display of DEI initiatives should not elicit conservatives’ praise. After all, the index is not measuring whether these companies are still participating in DEI, but rather whether they are willing to publicly brag about their efforts.
“Year‑over‑year analysis of 2025 and 2026 submissions show that implementation of policies and practices measured by the CEI was sustained or increased, with no declines across any criterion,” the report states. At best, the organizations that are no longer participating publicly are ones that blow with the political wind, and can be expected to return to their left-wing propagandizing the moment Democrats return to power.
This reality points to the potential reason for HRC choosing to publish this data. At first glance, it may seem that the radical gender ideology movement is losing steam, but in reality, HRC’s data is a shot across the bow reminding companies that their disloyalty will not be forgotten.
When the political situation is more favorable to the left, as it had been for years, the HRC typically holds corporations hostage by intimidating them into compliance with their demands. That can typically mean DEI trainings and employment strategies, capitulations to gay and “transgender” ideology, and persistently showing proof that they are advancing far-left agendas as companies.
HRC uses its scoring system to keep corporations under its thumb, and despite the drop in Fortune 500s, 1,450 companies still participated in the group’s ideological purity test, and 534 received a score of 100. That means nearly 6 million Americans are employed by companies that got a perfect compliance score from HRC, while millions more work at companies that strive to do so.
Since the movement against DEI ideology in corporate America and academia has started to take hold, companies like Ford Motor Company, Walmart, Lowe’s, and Tractor Supply have quietly dropped their former public support of HRC’s political agenda.
It will be the responsibility of federal officials at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Department of Justice to find out what kinds of discriminatory hiring decisions are being made in secret at America’s major corporations.

How is the word “drop” meant to be used in this headline sentence?
Hobby Lobby is as far as I go.
Money always wins in the end.

Our job is to talk about the decline and why.
The horror, the horror.
Much of the corporate celebration of faggotry was driven by Federal Government celebration of faggotry. President Trump ended the latter ... the quiet disappearance of the former is unsurprising.

i’ve worked for Prudential for almost four decades- from 2015 to 2024 they went far left woke. It was nauseating but i fought back every single opportunity available, calling out the hypocrisy of the company and the CEO (i have the receipts)...
Then little by little starting in 2024 all their woke BS went by the wayside- no more celebrating “pride” month (they previously broadcast drag shows in the home office), one mention of black history month on the website versus being flooded with emails every day in February, no more Junetheenf celebrations...
Prudential is the poster child of the massive pullback of DEI/Woke BS in corporate America....
That goes beyond a “punchable face” ... it more calls for a medieval mace.
In 2024, my employer’s internal corporate website was all full of “Racial Stupidity Month” stuff in February, and equally full of “Disgusting Perversity Month” stuff in June.
That quietly vanished in 2025.
In 2026 (AKA right now) ... it’s February again, and there’s not even the slightest hint of “Racial Stupidity Month”.
Huh ...
Affirmative Action Quotas in Question as Female, Minority Pilots Caused Half of Pilot-Error Crashes
"I analyzed every US commercial flight crash with onboard fatalities attributed to pilot error since 2000: Women and minorities represent less than 10% of pilots, yet were factors in four out of eight crashes (50%)."

35 percent continuing such programs. That’s great! Now they have the ones that really want to do this rather than being extorted into compliance.
Since president Trump again, the lgbtqxyz mafia is unable to bully and exploit US again. They’ve jumped the pecker and j j once again;-)
I’m employed by a Fortune 5 company. I’ve met the CEO a few times and he’s a very conservative man, personally and professionally. The entire organization barely pays lip service to the DEI nonsense. We’re too busy running a business.
5-500.
Great news on Prudential—for a while there “the rock” was turning into “the slime”.
They just go out of their way to look as repulsive and gross as possible. When I first went to Portland and Seattle (looking for work) the girls looked nice in an outdoorsy flannel wearing way. Last time I went to Portland was about 10 years ago and the women made it a point to look just gross. I sent to Seattle last year and it got even worse. Unwashed, gross nasty hair, bad pizza face skin. Ech. And they AIM for that look. Dog eat dog world.
