Disney and Kohl’s face criticism for supporting LGBT group hosting anonymous chats for teens.
Companies Under Scrutiny for Supporting the Trevor Project
Disney, NASCAR, and Kohl’s are among the companies under scrutiny for their financial support of the Trevor Project, a pro-LGBT organization that critics say enables sexual predators.
The “woke alert” flagging the corporations’ support of the Trevor Project was issued by Consumers’ Research, a nonprofit organization that seeks to “educate and protect consumers.”
“These six corporations are among those funneling millions of dollars to the Trevor Project, an organization that hosts a private chat room in which adults prey on vulnerable children,” the alert from Consumers’ Research says.
Bank of America, Chipotle, and General Motors were also identified in the alert, which was intended to “highlight another disturbing example of Woke Capitalism.”
The “woke alert” notes that Kohl’s supports the group with its “Trevor Project specific pride collection.” Kohl’s also made a $100,000 donation to the organization. Chipotle also supported the organization with a “pride line of merchandise.” The company pledged a minimum of $15,000 to the Trevor Project.
The alert, which provides consumers with ways to reach out to the companies, specifically focused on the organization’s “TrevorSpace,” an online, anonymous chat platform for children as young as 13.
The website does not utilize age verification and “provides a way for groomers and predators to communicate directly with children without their parents’ knowledge or consent,” Consumers’ Research claims.
Screenshots reported by the New York Post and included in the alert show discussions of pornography, masturbation, and fetishes on the site. The Post described the website as a “‘Pandora’s box’ of sexually perverse content, aggressive gender-reassignment referrals, adults encouraging minors to hide their transitions from their parents and many troubled kids in need of psychological counseling.”
The Trevor Project was named after a short film produced by the organization’s founders called “Trevor,” which centers around a gay teen who attempts suicide. The organization states that its mission is “to end suicide among LGBTQ young people.”
However, January Littlejohn, a parent advocate with Do No Harm, argues, “The Trevor Project has strayed far from their noble beginning as an organization dedicated to preventing suicide amongst vulnerable youth” and is “no longer a safe place for children or teens.”
“Companies donating to this organization need to understand what they are actually supporting, which is the teaching of radical gender ideology, the false notion that a child can be born into the wrong body, onto impressionable children,” Littlejohn added.
“The Trevor Project fosters a predatory and unsafe environment for minors. The fact that they have features in place that encourage children to hide their search and chatroom activity from their parents is deeply alarming,” Consumers’ Research Executive Director Will Hild alleged.
He added, “Companies like Disney, General Motors, and Bank of America should not be funding online chatrooms where predatory adults have unfettered access to groom vulnerable children.”
None of the six corporations, nor the Trevor Project, responded to a request for comment.
