The Spin
Right narrative
The CEI represents partisan activism that alienates customers and damages shareholder value. Companies should maintain political neutrality rather than embracing divisive social agendas. Disney's involvement in political controversies has negatively impacted its business performance.
Left narrative
Corporate commitments to inclusion strengthen business performance. The overwhelming shareholder support demonstrates that investors recognize the value of LGBTQ+ workplace protections. The CEI provides essential transparency and accountability measures that benefit all stakeholders.
