"The bottom line is it's super scary right now out there for the queer community," says Greg Sottolano, the chief people officer at Folx Health. "We've seen that just in how it has manifested here within Folx." He emphasizes the urgent need for corporate responsibility in supporting LGBTQ+ rights amid rising anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.
In 2023, a whopping 510 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were introduced at the state level, with 75 enacted as law, demonstrating a troubling trend that threatens the rights and wellbeing of the LGBTQ+ community.
These attacks on LGBTQ+ rights have been mirrored by growing pushback to diversity and inclusion efforts across the business world, with major companies like Walmart and Ford opting out of sponsoring Pride events.
...corporate America has a significant role to play, particularly when it comes to healthcare coverage for queer employees—and there are steps many employers can take to bolster their existing benefits and ensure LGBTQ+ workers feel heard and supported.
