This screen flags companies that score above the participating-Fortune-500 average on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the survey behind the definition above. Inspire’s concern is corporate promotion, not individuals: the document is explicit that the screen is not against LGBT people, most of whom are not activists, and that the aim is corporate ideological neutrality rather than opposition to anyone. As public “Pride” branding has cooled since 2024, Inspire notes activism has shifted to less visible internal channels — DEI programs, policies, and benefits — prompting a 2024 methodology update that looks past public signals to a company’s internal practices.

The biblical case. Inspire’s screen rests on the conviction that human identity, including sex, is created and defined by God:

• Every person is created in the image of God, with an identity — including their gender — given with intentional divine forethought (Genesis 1:27; Jeremiah 1:5; Psalm 139:14).
• Redefining what God has defined about sexuality and identity runs counter to His design (Romans 1:25; Colossians 3:9).
• The screen’s concern is corporate conduct: companies that promote this ideology while silencing or penalizing employees who hold traditional faith convictions (Acts 20:30; Colossians 2:8).
• Inspire’s aim is not to oppose people but to uphold truth in love, affirming every person’s God-given worth while encouraging companies toward a neutral standing on individual belief.

For Inspire, this screen concerns corporate conduct, not private lives — it flags companies that press an ideological agenda through their philanthropy, policies, and platforms, and engages them toward neutrality, so that faith-based capital does not finance the corporate promotion of a view of human identity contrary to God’s design.
