Elsie Carson-Holt at LGBTQ:
Jack Daniel’s has joined a growing number of brands that have cut their commitments to diversity, after conservative influencer Robby Starbuck threatened to make the company his next target. Last week, it was Harley Davidson, and before them it was Tractor Supply Co. and John Deere. Starbuck’s method of rallying his online followers to deluge companies social media with complaints about their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and donations to social justice organizations has proven effective.
Jack Daniel’s, the whiskey company, is the latest. On August 21, Starbuck posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) “Big news: The next company we were set to expose was Jack Daniels,” but that the company had ended several initiatives and partnerships.
Starbuck said, “They must have been tipped off by us going through employee LinkedIn pages” and that the company had “just preemptively announced” changes to DEI programs. Starbuck had obtained an email from Brown Forman (Jack Daniel’s parent company) saying that “the world has evolved” since launching a DEI campaign in 2019. The company said that since January, it had been evolving the current program to a “strategic framework,” which includes ending its partnership with the Human Rights Campaign and its Corporate Equality Index (CEI), which tracks how large employers treat their LGBTQ+ employees through various policies.
Jack Daniel’s is the latest company to shamefully cave into right-wing faux outrage artist Robby Starbuck’s bad-faith campaign against DEI and LGBTQ+ initiatives in workplaces by ending their participation in Human Rights Campaign’s CEI program and diversity initiatives.

The HRC has declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people.
There is a downloadable guidebook (pdf) in the 2nd paragraph of the article:
I don’t think the fascists will win, but they are dangerous and numerous. Don’t take this lightly.
Stay sharp, keep safe and good luck.

THE HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN HAS DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY FOR LGBT PEOPLE IN THE USA
Please watch this video by Rudy Riggs explaining it!
Took uh, a lot longer to add this ID than I intended
Picture ID: A person with a black t-shirt, layered silver necklaces, several piercings, a hat, and red hair dye except for the middle section which is brown. Their hair is very short, and they are very expressive with their hands and head movement. Their visible hand has several rings, one of which is very large.
The background is of a beige room with a sign light on the left, a picture or painting on the right, and plant in the corner.
There are captions above their head and a title in front of their throat which only stays for a few seconds.
End Picture ID
Captions(slashes are used to signify the end of a caption):
okay so a national state of emergency has been declared in America/
for LGBTQ+ people by the Human Rights Commission/
but what does that even mean/
I hear you ask/
look it up for yourself/
but I'm going to tell you the top line facts/
firstly they have released a statement of emergency/
which basically just states what the emergency is about/
and why they have decided to declare one/
they've also released what they're calling a handbook/
which has a bunch of resources/
like different laws in different states of America/
as well as rights for LGBTQ+ people in different states of America/
as well how to determine access for healthcare/
how to finance yourself a move to a safer state or place and finding employment/
information for filing complaints against civil rights laws/
as well as a bunch of other stuff about how to identify rhetoric/
and how to oppose anti LGBTQ/
plus situations on school boards or in other areas of your life/
and then finally/
the Human Rights Commission have also released information for travelers/
coming to the United States of America/
which is pretty terrifying/
that is just the overview of a very in depth document/
so please go and look at it yourself/
this is supposed to be Pride Month/
and it's really hard to feel pride/
when human rights are being violated across the entire globe/
End Caption ID
Rudy makes a note in the video description that they misspoke in the video and that it was the Human Rights Campaign, not Commission.

Please note that HRC is a recognized non-profit based in Washington DC. It is also one of the largest LGBT+ organizations in the United States.

always [more than one reason to] hate HRC
Human Rights Campaign [HRC] receives significant donations from US-based weapons manufacturer Northrop Grumman Corporation and lists it as one of its “platinum” corporate partners. Northrop Grumman was the world’s fourth-largest weapons manufacturer in 2022 and has consistently sent “aid” to Israel in the form of arms.

Not the Human Rights Campaign calling and asking if I could send them $1.5k again. That was from a fund raiser not my pocket money my guy. 😭
Good memories, though, from the fandom calendar charity event (shout out as always to the amazing artists who donated their time and work!) but please HRC stop asking for thousands of dollars from me, a poor queer.
#this is the third time in the past few years#MAKE A NOTE IN MY FILE OR SOME SHIT#😭😭😭#‘federal club member’#NO#because you wouldn’t let me donate it on behalf of the fund raiser rather than an individual#because you were fucking weird about it#anyway#good memories though#much love to my artist friends who made it possible#you were all amazing#HRC#human rights campaign

Please share this post to get this information to those who need it!!!
In light of recent events, I compiled a list of resources for LGBT+ folk and more. Ranging from how to legally change name/gender on documents, links to Advocates for Trans Equality, Human Rights Campaign, and The Trevor Project websites. How to obtain bulk HRT injection supplies, legal self defense information, as well as a list of supplies for an emergency Grab and Go bag. Everything is below the cut! If there's anything you want to add, please share and add that information! Thank you everyone, and please stay safe!
ID Legal Name & Gender Change + Other Resources US:
Advocates for Trans Equality: ID Documents Center | A4TE
For those in the US looking to legally change their names/sex on documents, you might want to do this between now and January 20th. You never know what you can and can't do until it happens. There are fees for the change, but in some states there are wavers for lower income folk you can apply for as well.
Human Rights Campaign: Human Rights Campaign
Has resources reporting on government legislation that may or may not effect you, along with informative resources for all walks of life ranging between sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, age and more.
The Trevor Project: The Trevor Project
The Trevor Project is the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention nonprofit organization for LGBTQ+ young people. We provide information & support to LGBTQ+ young people 24/7, all year round.
Plan B Contraceptive Info: Planned Parenthood
Fun fact for no reason in particular, Plan B has a shelf life of 4 years (when stored properly).
Bulk HRT Intramuscular Hormone Injection Supplies:
25 Gage 1” Needles: $9.79 (100 pack)
100Pack 18Ga 1Inch/25mm Disposable Dispensing Lab Supplies Individually Sealed Packaging: Amazon.com
18 Gage 1” Needles: $9.59 (100 pack)
Amazon.com: 100 Pack 18Ga 1 Inch Sterile Disposable Injection Needle with Cap for Scientific and Industrial Dispensing Needl Accessories
1ml Syringes: $14.99 (100 pack)
BH Supplies 1ml Luer Lock Tip Syringes (No Needle) - Sterile, Individually Wrapped
Sharps Container: $13.45 (3 pack), $19.95 (5 pack)
Amazon.com: Sharps Container for Home Use and Professional 1 Quart (3-Pack) by Alcedo | Biohazard Needle and Syringe Disposal
Total:
With the 3 pack sharps container: $47.82
With the 5 pack sharps container: $54.32
These are the products I use for my HRT treatment. $47.82-$54.32 might seem like a lot off the bat, but to put it into perspective: I bought these needles and syringes 2 years ago and am only now starting to run low. I’ve had to buy the sharps containers throughout these times a total of 3 times.
For silly hypotheticals, say you need enough supplies to make it through 4 years, you would need to spend $68.74 for needles and syringes, and $40.35 for sharps containers.
For Bandaids in Bulk: $9.99 (200 pack)
Amazon.com: Care Science Fabric Adhesive Bandages, 200 ct Bulk Assorted Sizes | Flexible + Breathable Protection Helps Prevent Infection for First Aid and Wound Care : Health & Household
Alcohol Wipes: $8.99 (100 count pack of 2)
OWELL Sterile Alcohol Prep Pads, Medium 2-Ply Medical Alcohol Pad for Cleaning Skin, First Aid Kit Alcohol Swabs, Individually Wrapped Alcohol Wipes, 100 Count, Pack of 2 Boxes
Once again, for silly hypotheticals, you need enough supplies to make it through 4 years, you would need to spend: $37.96
Legal Self Defense & Safety Information:
Things to know:
The act of self-defense must be proportionate to the danger, and the person defending themselves cannot be the initial aggressor (the first to threaten or use physical force). United States v. Peterson is often used to teach the self-defense doctrine. Other laws and regulations regarding self defense can differ between states, so I highly recommend researching the laws of your state. Stay informed and know your rights.
You don’t need a license to buy or own a can of pepper spray in the US. Different states have some regulations around them, but legally you can obtain pepper spray with no legal repercussions.
Generally speaking, across America you’re allowed to carry a pocket knife with you that has a 2.5” blade. Once more, different states have different regulations on what you can and can’t have in public (mainly switch blades and daggers) that I suggest you look into first before you buy anything.
You don’t need a license to buy or own a taser in the US. You can even buy a 2 in one pepper spray and taser off Amazon for under $25.
Mentioned Items:
Smart Personal Safety Alarm: $39.95
Amazon.com: She’s Birdie - Birdie+ Smart Personal Safety Alarm for Women by Women–Loud Siren, Key Chain, 24/7 Live Rep, Emergency Alerts, Bluetooth Connection - 3 Month App Subscription Included (Lavender)

“Just in case” Grab & Go Bags:
Must Have:
Non-perishable foods like granola & protein bars. Canned things are good too, but bars are lighter in weight so you can pack more without having as much weight to carry.
A reusable bottle of water.
Personal hygiene products like:
2 toothbrushes (It’s good to have a backup just in case)
Tooth paste
Dental floss
Q-tips
Wet wipes
Deodorant
Shampoo & Conditioner (solid bars if possible, since it’s lighter and takes up less space)
Hair brush/Comb
Hair ties (if needed)
Nail clippers (can be versatile and used to cut through packaging and other smaller things if needed)
At least 1 washcloth
Pads/tampons (for those who may need it)
Chapstick
Hand sanitizer
Multiple pairs of clean underwear (if you can’t pack a change of clothes or shower regularly, wet wipes can help you clean up and clean underwear can be put on. I cannot emphasize it enough, this is a mandatory must have so you can avoid things like UTI’s and yeast infections!)
If you have room for it, 1 change of clothes as well. Multiple pairs of socks is good to have as well.
Copies of important documents (birth certificate, medical records, deeds etc.)
Bills (Small ones like ones and fives preferred)
Ibuprofen
Ibuprofen
Acetaminophen
Antacids (like tums)
Caffeine pills (for those who need it)
First aid kit

Elsie Carson-Holt at LGBTQ Nation:
Though conservatives often accuse companies of losing out when a brand touts progressive values, the right-wing adage “go woke, and go broke,” has been disproven by a recent study. Brands that are supportive of LGBTQ+ rights or social justice movements see greater consumer engagement and loyalty from customers. Unstereotype Alliance, a business initiative convened by UN Women, more inclusive advertising campaigns positively impact profits, sales and brand worth. Researchers at Saïd Business School at Oxford University analyzed data from Diageo, Kantar and Unilever, in collaboration with the Geena Davis Institute. The research, based on an analysis of 392 brands across 58 countries, reveals that inclusive advertising can boost short-term sales by nearly 3.5% and drive long-term sales by over 16%. The study spanned various product categories, including confectionery, snacks, personal care, beauty, pet food, pet care, alcohol, consumer healthcare, and household products across diverse regions. Inclusive advertising also persuades 62% of consumers to choose a product and enhances brand loyalty for 15% of shoppers. The study highlights that ads that authentically portray people, without using stereotypes, have a clear competitive advantage in the marketplace, influencing consumer preferences and long-term success.
[...]
On the other side, the beer brand Bud Light also faced right-wing rage after partnering with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney. After the incident, Jason Warner, CEO of the European branch of Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch InBev, said that the company would no longer attempt inclusivity and “stay in our lane.”
The study comes after right-wing influencer Robby Starbuck has forced multiple companies to cave by accusing them of having “woke agendas” and sending a social media mob after them. Starbuck succeeded in getting companies such as Lowe’s, John Deere, Harley Davidson, and more to drop their DEI initiatives, stop partnering with the Human Rights Campaign, and end sponsorship of Pride festivals. When fear of Starbuck caused Ford Motors to follow behind the other brands, President of the Human Rights Campaign, Kelley Robinson, called Starbuck a “MAGA bully and Republican-reject.” It later released a study that details how rollbacks on DEI from large corporations in recent years are wildly unpopular with LGBTQ+ individuals and alienating many consumers. The latest research adds even more weight to that argument.
A new study by Oxford University’s Saïd Business School and Geena Davis Institute reveals that pro-inclusive advertising and support for social justice (esp. LGBTQ+) causes see increased consumer engagement and loyalty from customers, much to the chagrin of anti-inclusion activists like Robby Starbuck.
