Is Salesforce really LGBTQ friendly?
Salesforce is and has been for years one of the leading companies in the US and globally when it comes to promoting LBGTQ+ inclusion in the workforce and across society. Even at times or in countries/states where this position has been uncomfortable to defend, Salesforce has been very firm and vocal about it, and even offered additional protections to its own employees to prevent any negative impact caused by local regulations, or help people 'circumvent" it. Few companies have promoted LGBTQ+ rights as strongly as Salesforce has.
