Social Media GLAAD CEO admits corporations coerced elected politicians to stop anti-LGBTQ bills in America

Quote:Trans Corruption. At Davos the CEO of GLAAD admits corporations blackmailed elected politicians to stop laws protecting US children from the trans lobby. “If you do this we’re going to run a political opponent against you and help fund them!” She calls this “quiet diplomacy.”
For people who don’t use twitter, there’s a short video of Sarah Ellis, the CEO of GLAAD, who says,
Quote:I also believe deeply in quiet diplomacy. As I mentioned, there were over 500 anti-LGBTQ bills in America; 80 of them passed, the others didn’t pass, and we fought back. A lot of that was activists and front lines folks, and a lot of that were companies, who had conversations, and talked about, “If you do this I’m gonna run a political opponent against you, and I’m gonna help fund them. If you do this, I’m pulling out my plant that I’m about to build. And they did it quietly to make those moves…It cut off there, so I don't know if she elaborated, but I have to assume this was overwhelmingly to do with anti-TQ bills as opposed to anti-LGB bills. According to this trans legislation tracker, there were 672 "anti-trans" bills in 2024. Also, I don't think what she describes is technically blackmail like that guy is saying it is, and I'm not sure if it's even illegal, but it's still corrupt, and I'm surprised she just admits this publicly.
