From 2 companies to 155 — and less than 1% of the seats
When Out Leadership first read every Fortune 500 proxy statement in 2015, exactly 2 companies included LGBTQ+ people in their definition of board diversity. By 2024 it was 155 — a 78x change, driven by measurement, guidelines, and the Nasdaq rule that cited OutQUORUM research seven times. And yet openly LGBTQ+ directors still held just 0.83% of Fortune 500 board seats. The policy won; the placement work is unfinished.
Now the scaffolding is being pulled away. Since the Nasdaq rule’s repeal in February 2025, LGBTQ+-inclusive disclosure on the Nasdaq has fallen from 1,691 boards to 954 — while gender and age disclosure rose. Companies are not abandoning board diversity; they are abandoning LGBTQ+ people specifically. Which is exactly why we keep counting.
“Companies told us they didn’t have LGBTQ+ inclusive diversity policies, so we wrote them for them.” — Todd Sears, Founder & CEO, Out Leadership

My coming out was also about the young people who work in the company. If they suspect a senior leader is gay but not out, what does that say to them about the culture of the company?
