GLAAD has issued a response to Netflix's decision not to remove Dave Chappelle's controversial new special: “Netflix has a policy that content ‘designed to incite hate or violence' is not allowed, but we all know that anti-LGBTQ content does exactly that'
, which has come under sharp criticism from groups such as GLAAD and the National Black Justice Coalition over jokes those organizations and others have said were hurtful and cruel to or dismissive of the LGBTQ community.
A source said that the employees, including engineer Terra Field, whose Twitter thread about the special went viral, were suspended for attempting to join a quarterly meeting meant only for directors or vice presidents, and not because of Field’s tweets. “It is absolutely untrue to say that we have suspended any employees for tweeting about this show,” a Netflix spokesperson said. “Our employees are encouraged to disagree openly and we support their right to do so.”
