Cracker Barrel Removes Diversity Content After Backlash, White House Call
Cracker Barrel removed LGBTQ Pride and diversity references, including employee resource groups, from its website after customer backlash and a reported White House call.
Overview
Cracker Barrel removed LGBTQ Pride and diversity references from its official website, including specific employee resource groups for various communities.
The company's decision to remove this content followed customer backlash over a new logo and a reported call from the White House.
The removed sections specifically impacted employee resource groups for Black, Hispanic, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent staff, affecting the 'culture of belonging' page.
These diversity and inclusion webpages, which had been active for several years, were documented as removed by the Wayback Machine.
Newsmax contacted Cracker Barrel for comment on the removals, but the company has not yet provided a response to the inquiries.
