WINNING: Tractor Supply Vows to Eliminate DEI Programs and Stop Sponsoring Pride Events After Backlash
Tractor Supply has caved to pressure from conservatives and vowed to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and stop sponsoring Pride events.
Tractor Supply had been facing the Bud Light treatment, with stocks plummeting as conservatives launched boycotts over reports that the company was funding Pride events, donating to organizations that supported “transgender” children, hosting mandatory LGBTQ training for employees, and Tractor Supply CEO Hal Lawton liking extremely liberal posts on X.
It’s time to expose Tractor Supply.
It’s one of the most beloved brands in by conservatives but what do they REALLY stand for under CEO @hallawton’s leadership?
• LGBTQIA+ training for employees
• Funding pride/drag events
• They have a DEI Council

Wow. @TractorSupply bragged in one of their yearly reports that they donated more than $570,000 to DEI, including LGBTQ+ YOUTH!
Yes, Tractor Supply thinks kids can be trans and they support it by the looks of this.
