Maybe, just maybe, many companies actually back up their diversity policies with their actions. It has nothing to do with politics--it's just good business to provide an environment that does not tolerate discrimination in any form against their employees.
Thanks. I got a good laugh outta this one. Business has but one god, and that god is money.
OP -- are you familiar with the concept of "virtue signaling?" Some of the most odious organizations extant, for example the NCAA, or if you don't like that one how about Wells Fargo, purported great umbrage and shed gallons of crocodile tears over HB-2 in attempts to spiff-up their own images. More generally, one sees virtue signaling routinely by liberals.

Oddly stated, but essentially true. The purpose of most businesses is to make a profit. And studies have shown that companies with strong nondiscrimination policies are more profitable.
Lets start at the beginning. When these employees were hired certain ones were discriminated against per Federal statute. If these employees attended College certain ones were discriminated against.
I think you are not seeing the difference between discrimination and simply choosing the best candidate.

I love it -- studies have shown. And other studies have shown that studies like these are often the epitome of junk science. Can you deal with self-referential propositions?

If you apply basic comprehension skills, you'll see that I said "it's just good business", which infers that it ultimately helps the bottom line. By supporting diversity, companies have a larger pool of potential employees from which to hire; there are many very talented people who happen to be LGBT. Larger talent pool = more likely to hire good employees that will help them make more money. It also translates to a larger potential customer pool, as most LGBT people would prefer to do business with companies that don't discriminate. So, oddly enough, I actually agree with you--it is about money!

Indeed I see what you're trying to say -- I just don't agree with your approach. The best policy is no policy: don't ask, don't tell. Support neither diversity nor discrimination with bureaucracy and convoluted, hypocritical policy. Side note: surely you meant "implies" rather than "infers."

That's nice but in the real world, that ship sailed a long time ago...Jim Crow, separate but equal, blatant sexual/gender discrimination, etc., etc. Most human beings have to be forced to do the right thing, unfortunately.

The point concerns LGBTQ issues. There is no way to tell who is what. There is no implicit or explicit need for anyone to know anyone else's sexual preference or history. The constitution of the "right thing," of course, is simply your opinion, which is not likely to be universally held.
