When footage of a CEO yelling at a teenage boy for wearing a dress were posted online, the board of directors acted quickly to fire him and issued an unequivocal statement.

Visuwell’s culture emphasizes respect, kindness, and compassion, especially for those from traditionally marginalized communities, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy for intolerance of any kind.

We share the concerns that so many have expressed on this matter and look forward to announcing concrete steps we are taking in support of the LGBTQ community in particular over the coming weeks.”
