ExxonMobil Corp. (NYSE:XOM) will not allow the LGBTQ-rights rainbow flag to be flown outside of its corporate offices during June’s Pride Month observances, although corporate leadership insisted this was not a reflection of a lack of support for its LGBTQ workforce.
What Happened: According to a Bloomberg report, Exxon Mobil’s decision is not based solely on the rainbow flag, but on the display of what it described as “external position flags.” The members of the company’s PRIDE Houston Chapter complained in an email that it was “informed the justification was centered on the need for the corporation to maintain ‘neutrality.’”
