Exxon Mobil Corp. plans to prohibit the LGBTQ-rights flag from being flown on the corporate flagpole outside its offices during Pride month in June, prompting a furious backlash from Houston-based employees.
Exxon updated company guidance on what flags can be displayed outside its offices, banning “external position flags” such as PRIDE and Black Lives Matter, according to the policy seen by Bloomberg News. Instead, the rule permits a flag representing an LGBTQ employees’ group that does not prominently feature Exxon’s corporate logo.
In response, members of Exxon’s PRIDE Houston Chapter are refusing to represent the company at the city’s June 25 Pride celebration, according to an employee group email also seen by Bloomberg.
…While the commonly recognized rainbow flag is prohibited, Exxon supports displaying banners and flags with logos of so-called employee resource groups, or ERGs, especially during signature months, Gunnlaugsson said. “The flags are directly related to our business and company support of our ERGs, including PRIDE for LGBTQ+ employees.”

Exxon is banning the LGBTQ pride flag from being flown outside its Houston corporate office during pride month in June.
The company updated guidance on acceptable flags which can be displayed outside offices, which included banning “external position flags,” including the pride flag and Black Lives Matter flag, according to the new policy obtained by Bloomberg News.
Exxon’s move didn’t go over well with members of the Exxon PRIDE Houston chapter who are now refusing to represent the company at Houston’s pride celebration, the report states.
Flags representing employee resource groups at the company can be displayed, according to a spokesperson, and told Bloomberg News it supports that.
“The flags are directly related to our business and company support of our ERGs, including PRIDE for LGBTQ+ employees,” the spokesperson said.
The move to allow employee resource group flags to be flown, however, isn’t enough for the LGBTQ employees’ group.
