GoDaddy Terminated ProLifeWhistleBlower[dot]com (No Longer the original site)

GoDaddy has not issued explicit corporate statements on abortion rights. However, the company took a significant action in September 2021 when it terminated hosting services for Texas Right to Life’s website “prolifewhistleblower.com,” which was designed to allow anonymous reporting of abortion providers and individuals helping women obtain abortions after six weeks of pregnancy.

GoDaddy justified this decision as a terms-of-service enforcement action, citing that the website violated multiple provisions, including the prohibition on collecting personally identifiable information about individuals without their consent. The company gave Texas Right to Life 24 hours to find another hosting provider. While this action aligned with pro-choice advocacy efforts, GoDaddy framed it as a policy compliance issue rather than a political stance on abortion rights.

No recent statements or policy positions on abortion from GoDaddy have been found for 2024-2025.

These protections extend to all management practices including recruitment, hiring, evaluations, promotions, training, and career development programs.

GoDaddy LGBTQ+ Recognition and Ratings

The company has received a perfect 100% score on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index for at least four consecutive years (2021, 2022, and continuing), earning the designation as a “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality”. In 2025, GoDaddy earned the “Equality 100 Award” from HRC. To achieve this rating, companies must satisfy criteria including non-discrimination policies across all business entities, equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families, and supportive workplace culture.

GoDaddy Community Support Through .GAY Domains

In 2023, GoDaddy Registry acquired and began managing the .gay top-level domain. The company donates 20% of all new .gay registration revenue to LGBTQ+ charitable organizations, including GLAAD and CenterLink. As of 2023, over 27,000 .gay domains had been registered, generating more than $180,000 in donations to LGBTQ+ nonprofits.

The .gay domain also features a Rights Protection Policy that prohibits homophobic and anti-LGBTQIA+ usage, including inciting violence, bullying, harassment, or hateful content targeting LGBTQ+ individuals. This policy allows for suspension or cancellation of domains that violate these standards.

GoDaddy LGBTQ+ Employee Resource Groups

GoDaddy maintains GDUnited (GoDaddy United), an employee resource group dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ employees and allies. This group operates year-round, not just during Pride Month, providing professional development opportunities, fostering community connections, and promoting understanding within the broader workforce.

Leadership Commitment

Kristy Lilas, GoDaddy’s Vice President of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging, has stated: “We recognize that .gay is more than just a domain extension – it’s a powerful investment in equity for all LGBTQIA+ people”. The company’s leadership has consistently emphasized creating a culture where employees can “bring their authentic selves to work” and “be their whole selves”.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)

GoDaddy has established a robust, transparent DEI program with annual public reporting since 2015.

Leadership Commitment

In March 2023, CEO Aman Bhutani signed the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge, joining a coalition of more than 2,400 CEOs committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. This public commitment aligns with the company’s stated corporate sustainability priorities.

Workforce Diversity (2024 Data)

According to GoDaddy’s 2024 Sustainability Report:

Transparency and Accountability

GoDaddy publishes annual Diversity and Pay Parity Reports (seven reports as of 2022) and comprehensive Sustainability Reports covering ESG commitments. The company maintains a DEIB Steering Committee composed of senior leadership to promote inclusive experiences for both employees and customers.

Programs and Initiatives

The company implements inclusive hiring practices, unconscious bias training, and maintains multiple employee resource groups for various communities including LGBTQIA+ and Latinx employees. GoDaddy also operates an Empowering Entrepreneurs volunteer program where employees provide mentorship to budding business owners.

Board Diversity

GoDaddy’s Board of Directors consists of 9 members: 33.3% female and 66.7% male; racially, the board is 55.6% White and 33.3% Asian.

Political Activities

GoDaddy made no direct federal candidate contributions in the 2024 election cycle. The company maintains a Political Action Committee (PAC) that has been terminated as a federal entity. GoDaddy has not reported lobbying the federal government during the 2024 election cycle. Historical lobbying efforts (2007-2012) focused primarily on internet governance and ICANN oversight.

Conservative Criticism

Conservative organizations have criticized GoDaddy’s DEI initiatives. A 1792 Exchange report claims GoDaddy opposed Iowa legislation related to parental rights, girls’ sports, and bathroom facilities. A shareholder proposal in 2025 requested the company establish faith-based employee resource groups, citing that most large tech companies lack such groups.

GoDaddy’s comprehensive approach to LGBTQ+ rights, transgender inclusion, and DEI demonstrates a sustained, measurable commitment supported by concrete policies, transparent reporting, financial investments in LGBTQ+ causes, and consistent recognition from leading civil rights organizations.
