The suit details that Carano was required by Disney to meet with a representative from the LGBTQ+ group Glaad after online behaviour that was seen as anti-trans, yet she refused. She was then asked to meet with a group of LGBTQ+ Disney employees but again refused and was fired soon after.

Girl…you were put on a Performance Improvement Plan. You didn’t complete it. You were fired as a result. It would happen at my job, too. They don’t want to give money to people who will make them look bad. Most places don’t. You probably signed a lot of paperwork agreeing to do or not do a bunch of shit and then you did it.

Was that like…your first job or something?

Edit: I read this on here right before the Gina article. Elon Musk is such a trash person and hypocrite:

SpaceX execs are accused of joking about sexual harassment and firing workers for speaking up, report says

Per Bloomberg, these California workers were fired in 2022 after they circulated a draft of an open letter critical of CEO Elon Musk. The letter stated that Musk's behavior in public was "a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment," according to a New York Times report.

It also contained an allegation that the company wasn't complying with its zero-tolerance policy on sexual harassment. Although the draft letter didn't specify the exact allegations, it mentioned "recent allegations against our CEO and his public disparagement of the situation," per The Verge.

Also the demand she meet with queer coworkers was clearly an attempt to communicate that she was creating a hostile workplace for coworkers based on protected statuses.

And it should be noted that politics are intentionally not protected because otherwise black listing communists would be illegal
