323 companies signed petitions against anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, but 50 of them donated to anti-LGBTQ+ legislators.

. The ACLU is tracking an additional 272 anti-LGBTQ+ bills that are advancing through 33 state legislatures.

“Corporate leaders need to double down on their values, not back down, especially in a year that has seen historic restrictions on basic freedoms aimed at our community, and trans people in particular,” ReShawn “Shawnie” Hawkins, director of workplace equality at HRC, told OpenSecrets in an email. “The [Corporate Equality Index] tool does not currently rate corporate political giving, but it does provide points for companies that speak out for LGBTQ+ equality under the law. Our primary goal is to work with companies and have ongoing, productive conversations about how they can continue to show support for the LGBTQ+ community, internally and externally,“ Hawkins wrote.
