Found out that global CEO is a Trump supporter. Was approached by an ex-client who wants to do a side project for the LGBT community, but had to turn it down because of that. Mixed feelings. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Are you surprised that the people at the top of these companies vote fiscally instead of socially? Is it really that hard to imagine that people with millions tied up in the market have different political agendas than working class/middle upper class people have?

Mullen’s done plenty of lgbt stuff in the past. Even an anti(ish) Trump website before the elections. If it will win awards and get press they’ll be all for it. And in any case, Alex and John are trump supporters simply because they’re greedy, rich assholes.

Why you felt the need to turn it down is an issue because who gives a flying fuck who supports Trump or not. Just do what’s right, it’s not that hard. If you “can’t” do something because someone is a Trump supporter maybe you need to re-evaluate both your privilege and strength of character. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I work for the same company you do and I can tell you that they are not anti-gay. If you had to turn it down perhaps it was due to the fact that it was an ex-client with a strange relationship? Or that there is some other weird political factor at play? Maybe there aren’t any resources because the offices are strapped in so many ways? This is a really big allegation to make and a bit irresponsible to be making here if you ask me.

What Alex’s political views may be shouldn’t influence the business you take in. Business is business. Trump wouldn’t turn anything down if he could flip it into a buck.

AD3, shut-up. You’re contributing nothing but stupidity. Anyone who supports Trump, by default does support (or at least is complacent to) a very nazi-like situation, especially with him being so explicitly backed by white supremacists and the uptick in it being okay to be racist.

And yes following along with something “just because” is wrong, just in case that was to difficult for you to comprehend.

John Moore is also a Trump guy. I’d be surprised if most of senior management isn’t, but they are confirmed. I think LGBT is still safe territory though as they are in it for the bucks and just ignorant/unaffected personally by the social issues that come along with their tax windfall.

CD1, I respectfully disagree on the good guys bit. Still, I think that calling all republicans Nazis is wrongheaded, but pointing out that they are willing to accept Nazi behavior in order to get a tax break or get abortion disallowed is certainly true. The day after the election if Trump many Mullen women saw what they felt was a truth too much to bear in a leadership of a predominantly female agency, and they left- because they did not want to work for that kind of person. We love to say here “leave” but people rarely say why they are leaving so the feedback loop is broken.
