Rite Aid
Rite Aid has a clear position on LGBTQ rights, stating that they support the rights of their employees to be themselves, and that they offer benefits to employees who are in same-sex relationships. The company also participates in public events and organizations that support LGBTQ rights, and donates to politicians who support or don't support LGBTQ rights legislation.
Walmart
Walmart has a poor position on LGBTQ rights despite having good benefits for its employees because it has donated millions of dollars to politicians who are actively against LGBTQ rights. These donations have included campaigns that aimed to restrict marriage equality, limit access to healthcare and public services, and increase discrimination against transgender people. The company's philanthropic arm has also donated to organizations that oppose LGBTQ rights, such as the Family Research Council, which has been classified as an anti-LGBTQ hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
