What do pediatric sex-change therapies, “glory holes,” gay royals, an albino Filipino transgender, and an enforcement regime reminiscent of the Stasi have in common? No, it’s not the LA Dodgers’ “Pride Night” celebration tonight, although you’re close.

According to a long Twitter thread late yesterday from Matt Walsh, all of this comes from the DEI efforts at a very woke corporation. And that corporation is … Fox, the parent company of Fox News. (And as an aside, a one-time owner of the Dodgers.) Walsh got the internal communications from presumably disgruntled Fox News employees, and they’re … well, they’re something all right, if true.

This seems almost too bizarre to say, but be warned that this will contain some NSFW explicit content, albeit in text form. And bear in mind that all of the sexually explicit content you’re about to read reportedly comes from a corporation with a Human Resources department, a point to which we’ll return momentarily. For Pride Month, employees who log into their system get greeted with a ‘request’ to donate to Fox Corp’s Pride partners, and “partner” is a word used by Fox Corp:

5/ The Ali Forney Center, which Fox praises for rescuing “homeless LGBT youth,” appears to admit (on Twitter and its website) that it injects these homeless young people with cross-sex hormones, which are known to cause sterilization. pic.twitter.com/oZp91eR8Hk

I won’t embed all of Matt’s tweets, as you should read the thread in full. This effort goes on for another tweet or two in which Matt explains more about these partners along the same lines, but these are enough for the moment. This looks like a full-throated endorsement from Fox Corp for pediatric sex-change therapies, as well as adult predation of minors. Of all the corporate messaging that exists, this is certainly … one of them.

And then it gets weird. No, really. Under a section called “EXPAND YOUR PERSPECTIVE,” Fox Corp “suggests” a reading list for its employees. Those books are Red, White, and Royal Blue, a romance novel about a gay relationship between a fictional Prince of Wales and an American president’s son, along with a non-fiction memoir called Fairest. That book details the apparently true journey of a Filipino boy with albinism who “would grow up to be a woman in America.”

To quote Yakov Smirnoff: America — whadda country!

Guess what Fox Corp employees can learn from Fairest? Everything you ever didn’t want to know about “glory holes” and were too classy to ask:

And this is where I wonder what happened to Fox Corp HR. I’ve sat through endless ‘training’ sessions about sexual harassment and hostile work environments in corporate America over the last few decades. As much as I try, I cannot recall even one such session that gave the green light to suggesting that my staff should read sexually explicit material in order to improve their standing in the company. In fact, I seem to recall pretty clearly that any hint about sexuality in the workplace would be enough to get all our asses in a sling.

Oh, and while they’re at it, Fox Corp also want employees’ kids to read It’s Okay to Be a Unicorn, which pushes kids to “identify” with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Why would an employer tell (or “suggest”) reading material for their workers’ children? In what universe would an employer think they have the standing to offer advice for child-raising without an invitation to discuss it?

Skip those questions, though, because this one’s even better. What happens to Fox Corp employees who don’t go along with these and other “suggestions” this month? They will track you down, that’s what:

To quote my friend Erick Erickson: You will be made to care. Fox Corp will have its AI-based Big Brother system watching to make sure that employees adhere to their DEI program, no matter how gross or offensive it might be.

There’s a reason why I compare this to the Stasi. Just as with the East German police, albeit on a less lethal scale, Fox Corp wants ideological conformity from its population and is willing to punish those who refuse to conform to it. This is the “diversity” we can expect from corporate DEI programs — with an enforcement arm that makes clear that employees will ‘celebrate diversity’ in precisely the only way the corporation allows.

Has this infected Fox News? To be fair, it doesn’t seem to have affected its content. Yet. But if this is the direction that the corporation takes and imposes on its workforce, the output eventually will follow the input. Employees will follow the incentives, or they’ll leave and get replaced by new employees who buy into it.  That’s the way markets work — and the DEI activists know it.
