Jeff Bezos erases LGBTQ+ rights support and ‘equity for Black people’ from Amazon website

Amazon has removed LGBTQ+ rights support from its website, as the White House moves to erase equality initiatives. 

On his first day back in office, president Donald Trump ended the use of governmental diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) hiring and federal contracting, and Amazon has become the latest major corporation to scale back its equity programmes.

Statements pledging to commit to “equity for Black people” and “LGBTQ+ rights” and any mention of “transgender” were removed from Amazon’s website in December, The Washington Post reported.

Amazon’s website previously stated the company stood “in solidarity” with Black employees and customers and supported “legislation to combat misconduct and racial bias in policing, efforts to protect and expand voting rights, and initiatives that provide better health and educational outcomes for Black people.”
