Mazda lgbt
This car has it all and does it all. Well, maybe not like Ricky Martin living la vida dulce or Karen Walker (of Will and Grace fame), the coolest and most obnoxious queen on 5th Avenue. But if you need a reliable car that’s snazzy and rugged and can make you feel ultra-gay and uber-metrosexual at the same time, this is the one for you.
This year, forward collision warning and mitigation is standard on all trims. That’s a big deal to me. We all get behind the wheel and get distracted, often by our own fabulousness. Whether we imagine ourselves hearing “shantay, you stay”, or earn angry about “The Man That Got Away” (a 1954 Judy Garland hit that is grammatically incorrect), anyone’s mind can wander. Next thing we know, we’re air-kissing the bumper in front of us. I’d rather hold my Vera Wang dirtied by my Frappuccino than get into a car crash. Now, with standard forward collision warning, all is well and safe. That alone makes the 2018 Mazda CX-5 a keeper.
Also standard is blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic al
RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
Mazda views human rights as fundamental to its corporate activities. The Company does not tolerate human rights violations of any kind in its corporate activities, both inside and outside the Company, including discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, nationality, faith, gender, social status, family origin, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Based on this policy, in August 2023 the Company established the Mazda Human Rights Policy. In formulating this policy, the Company prepared a draft through discussion with domestic and overseas Group companies, and this draft was reported to and approved by the Board of Directors. Going forward, the Company will endure to pursue coordination and update this policy as necessary. It will also strive to spread awareness and understanding of the policy.
Even prior to formulating the Mazda Human Rights Policy, Mazda had defined its policy in this area and the standards of behavior it expected of its employees and promoted related initiatives based on fundamental in
DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION
Mazda steadily and continuously recruits those with disabilities. To ensure that each employee can deliver their best performance, the Company has established a support desk*1 for people with physical disabilities that offers consultations on various matters to employees with disabilities to help provide them with a comfortable function environment. In addition, the Company has employed two certified sign-language interpreters to further ensure provision of information to people with hearing impairments (as of March 31, 2024). In FY March 2014, the Company was certified as an Ai Support Company/Organization by Hiroshima Prefecture under its Ai Support campaign.*2 The Company participates in this campaign with the aim of helping realize a society where all people can live in harmony and in comfort, regardless of whether they are with or without disabilities. In FY March 2015, the Company registered itself with the “special support school employment back unit Hiroshima”*3 to carry out the internship program for students with cognitive disabiliti
If you live in the capital and your family consists of just you and your partner or your dog or a cat who likes to proceed for drives (just kidding, cats hate to get in the car), the 2023 Mazda 3 just may be your ticket to freedom. And maybe paradise.
Starting at $33,550 US (yeah, yeah, good luck finding one at that price, even at this late stage of the 2023 model year), this small wagon, which comes as either a sedan or a hatchback, is peppy and spunky and very easy to park.
And with mileage of 28 city / 37 highway, it’s also relatively simple on your pocketbook (yeah, yeah, no one calls it a ‘pocketbook’ anymore).
All-Wheel Drive is present, and so is a turbo as you go up the food chain. This is a car that you can truly make your very own sportscar without having to pay the sticker price. Or fear that the cops will pull you over for looking too racy. Yet, as you can observe, it really is a nice-looking car.
My husband Paul has been driving a Mazda 3 for more than a decade now and in many ways, I am surprised that thing is still going. But I would never call it a bag of bolts: it
