When income investor Jenny Harrington looks for top dividend stocks, names like Whirlpool come to mind. The home appliance manufacturer not only has a 6% dividend yield, but it has also gotten very cheap, Harrington said. She buys names that have a "reasonably high dividend yield" for her portfolio, which typically generates a 5% dividend yield or better. "We specifically focus on dividend income rather than dividend growth, because the objective of our portfolio is to generate a strong and sustainable income stream for our clients," Harrington said.

Nov 27 (Reuters) - Activist investor Elliott Investment Management on Monday said it was ready to nominate directors at Crown Castle International and push for the ouster of the wireless tower owner's executives and board members, whom it blames for years of underperformance. The hedge fund in a letter released on Monday said the company needs "comprehensive leadership change." It said it was ready to appeal to other shareholders to make changes to the 12-member board, signaling a possible proxy fight next year. Elliott sharply criticized management and the board saying a "lack of oversight ... contributed to its irresponsible stewardship and flawed financial policy." The hedge fund said the company "disregarded our data-driven analysis" and added that "our recommended changes were neither made nor taken seriously."

☆ 7 Republican AGs write to Target, say Pride month campaigns could violate their state’s child protection laws

New York CNN —Republican attorneys general from seven states signed a letter Wednesday to Target (TGT), warning clothes and merchandise sold as part of the retail giant’s Pride month campaigns could violate their state’s child protection laws. Nineteen states have passed laws restricting it. And more than 1 in 5 of Gen Z identify as LGBTQ+ – so we’re also their future. In May, Target said it was removing some products celebrating Pride Month after the company and its employees became the focus of a “volatile” anti-LGBTQ campaign. Target said it removed from shelves “items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior.”Target did not have comment on the letter.

☆ Anheuser-Busch loses LGBTQ+ equality rating from Human Rights Campaign for handling of Bud Light backlash
  + stars: | 2023-05-22 | by ( Grace Mayer | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The Human Rights Campaign removed Anheuser-Busch's equality score and "Best Places to Work Title." The group has since removed this designation in response to the company's handling of backlash from a Bud Light promotion that featured transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, USA Today reported. In April, Mulvaney posted a promotion on her Instagram that featured custom Bud Light beer cans with prints of her face. In a statement provided to Insider, Jay Brown, senior vice president of programs, research, and training at Human Rights Campaign, said the group decided to suspend Anheuser-Busch's equality score after several attempts to contact the company's executive team. Last year, the Human Rights Campaign gave Anheuser-Busch its highest equality rating: a 100 on its 2022 Corporate Equality Index score, a tool that weighs a company's corporate policies, practices, and benefits for its LGBTQ employees.
☆ Anheuser-Busch loses top LGBTQ+ rating over its Bud Light response

New York CNN —Last year, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation gave Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch a top rating for LGBTQ+ equality. Bud Light sales dropped in the ensuing weeks. Bud Light has been embroiled in controversy since April. But Bud Light hasn’t gotten the benefit of support for its initial deal with Mulvaney because of its subsequent reaction. During the discussion, he mentioned that Bud Light is just one brand within the company’s broad portfolio, which has not changed its full-year outlook.
☆ Anti-LGBTQ hate thrives online, spurs fears of more violence
  + stars: | 2022-12-18 | by ( Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +6 min
On Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, researchers and LGBTQ advocates have tracked an increase in hate speech and threats of violence directed at LGBTQ people, groups and events, with much of it directed at transgender people. “A lot of that is happening online, and online threats are turning into threats of real violence offline.”Hospitals in Boston, Pittsburgh, Phoenix, Washington, D.C., and other cities have received bomb threats and other harassing messages after misleading claims spread online about transgender care programs. There’s no simple explanation for the increase in hate speech documented by researchers recent years. Online hate speech has been linked to offline violence in the past, and many of the perpetrators of recent mass shootings were later found to be immersed in online worlds of bigotry and conspiracy theories. Despite rules prohibiting hate speech or violent threats, platforms such as Facebook and YouTube have struggled to identify and remove such content.
