In the weeks leading up to today’s walkout, protests within Netflix, suspensions and defensive statements from the company have erupted in response to Chappelle’s “The Closer,” which features transphobic remarks and other insensitive commentary. latimes.com/entertainment-…

Demonstrators began arriving outside the Netflix office on Vine around 10 a.m. and chanted, “Trans lives matter.” #NetflixWalkout latimes.com/entertainment-…
