The question
Is Zara gay?
Yes.
Zara USA received 95 in HRC's 2025 Corporate Equality Index, a dated assessment of LGBTQ workplace inclusion. The review did not establish a material LGBTQ-specific reversal; detailed current policy pages and a 2026 score could not be verified.
Reviewed Sep 7, 2026 · Rulebook 2.0
