Toyota Ends LGBTQ Sponsorship Amid DEI Strategy Shift

The automaker's decision follows social media backlash and aligns with other companies reevaluating diversity initiatives.

Toyota announced it will stop sponsoring LGBTQ events and withdraw from Human Rights Campaign rankings.
The decision was influenced by anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck's campaign against 'woke' corporate policies.
Toyota plans to focus future community efforts on STEM education and workforce readiness.
The move has sparked mixed reactions, with some supporting the change and others criticizing it for abandoning inclusivity.
Toyota joins other major companies like Ford and Lowe's in scaling back DEI initiatives.
