Just to be clear, as I looked up in Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the opposite of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) is Sameness, Bias, & Exclusion. Your call, your vote. I stand with DEI and all my brothers and sisters. And I'll spend my hard-earned money with those stores and vendors who agree with fairness for all and an appropriate code of conduct.
