The largest LGBTQ advocacy group in the US has stripped Fox Corporation of its status as a preferred LGBTQ friendly employer and released a blistering statement condemning the network for its recent coverage of the LGBTQ community. That extreme — frankly dark — rhetoric has prompted the Human Rights Campaign to penalize Fox Corp.’s score on its Corporate Equality Index, a status that companies often work hard to achieve. In fact, Fox Corp. previously boasted that it had a 100% rating from the Human Rights Campaign as one of the “best places to work for LGBTQ equality.”“I can confirm that Fox Corporation no longer has a score of 100 on the Corporate Equality Index,” Human Rights Campaign spox Aryn Fields told me on Friday. Fox was notified of the Human Rights Campaign’s decision via email early Friday afternoon…“Enough is enough”In explaining the decision to strip Fox of its status, the Human Rights Campaign issued a scathing statement. “Fox News has a history of sharing misinformation and disinformation about the LGBTQ+ community,” Fields said.
