Following the employee backlash at Disney, Comcast NBCUniversal employees are raising concerns about their company’s political action committee supporting politicians who advance anti-LGBTQIA+ causes. NBCUniversal declined to comment on the employees’ request in the petition. Some employees believe the political donations undermine the efforts that NBCUniversal and Comcast have made to be more inclusive, by supporting candidates that harm the rights of LGBTQIA+ people. Robinson also wrote that Comcast NBCUniversal would run public service announcements in partnership with GLAAD that feature a family with a transgender child and advocates for people to stand with them for equality. But employees who signed the petition said those efforts were undermined by the company’s PAC donations.
