It also uses sex and gender ideology criteria in employee recruitment, vendor selection, and philanthropic support. Qualcomm uses its corporate funds and political influence to support controversial sex and gender ideologies and organizations. Qualcomm has sponsored local Planned Parenthood facilities and pledged $1.5 million to the Black Lives Matter movement. The company supports the Equality Act and is a brass sponsor of Out & Equal.
