At least Home Depot seems to actually care about its lgbtq employees, and its employee training is full of anti-discriminatory language and policies while being openly welcoming to the lgbtq community. Even here in Florida, Home Depot is a pretty friendly place to work for LGBTQ employees.
Can confirm, I've worked with several individuals who are lgbtq+ only saw one issue with one person and it was swiftly dealt with.
Which is interesting considering the owner is a maga.
Edit: I didn't realize he was no longer involved with the company. Jkjk
He isn’t the owner. He was the co-founder, first CEO and then the first chairman, but he retired in 2002. He hasn’t had anything to do with the company since then.
I stand corrected. Thanks for the info!

Home Depot already rolled back their dei requirements quite a while ago.
I had them on my personal boycott list for years because their owner supported Trump. Then they came out and said that we don't have anything to do with our former owner so I took them off my block list and then they came out and rolled back their dei protection so I put them right back on it.
I'm also going to boycott Lowe's and I'm going to cancel my Lowe's card while I'm at it. Sure it's just a drop of change but at least I'm doing my part.
