You won’t find those words specifically typed out anywhere in public, but that’s the gist of how corporate America view the LGBT community. It boggles my mind how its members could possibly be anything less than offended that every year, during the month of June, like clockwork, Western corporations dust off the old rainbow and plaster it everywhere. EVERYWHERE!
Well, everywhere they can without losing sales. Observe:
Notice anything weird about this image? I guess in places where being gay or trans is still looked down upon, to the point of getting you killed, these big corporations have decided its better to be quiet about their support for the agenda, instead of “boldly standing up for equal representation”. After all, can’t hurt that bottom line over there where all the oil money is at!
Why don’t people understand that the whole “pride month” thing, along with “black history month” are nothing more than marketing ploys to get people to spend more money? Corporations LOVE made up holidays they can milk people over! Valentines day? Fake! Nothing more than a day they can use to harass men into buying expensive trinkets for their wives, and for raking in the dough over cheap cards for kids classrooms! Earth day? Awesome, another day they can MARKET! Buy our “green” products to save the planet and celebrate Earth day! To be fair, I get very irritated that local businesses hold Memorial Day Sales, as the holiday should have nothing to do with getting a couch for 80% off! The whole concept just reeks!
Corporations have ALWAYS latched onto the most popular ideologies of the day in order to sell product to the masses.
Always.
I don’t support the whole LGBT thing, but I do support people being made aware that they are being exploited. Pride month is a month long advertisement. Don’t fall for it.

True, but by the same token, I don’t understand how those who claim to be Christians still support companies like Disney.
I’m not saying this as a ‘shots fired’ statement or anything (I know you like Disney); I have the same general sense of unbelief at the disparity between the values professed by one and the values displayed by the other…
The special-interest groups want.. nay, demand! … condescending pandering. So the rest of us get to watch this Excrement Entertainment with… whatever it is: disbelief? Disgust? A little of column A and a little of column B?
Correction: I like OLD SCHOOL Disney, but have done as much as possible to avoid giving them money over the past couple of years. At some point all of us have to decide if we can be purchased with promises of “great deals” or even deals of “inclusion”. We can watch with disbelief or disgust, but I also include a little bit of irritation at the fact that companies go out of their way to pander to 2-3% of the population for a whole month for street cred. I doubt it really even garners them much at the bottom line, how could it?
Overall its just a slimy and disgusting practice and it makes me sad that people fall for it hook, line and sinker.
Ah, yes; I didn’t make that distinction. Disney’s an easy target, but they’re not the only ones, of course.
And I agree with you about people and their willingness to sell themselves for free due to some perception of similarity with a faceless corp.

They do it because these small minorities are WEALTHY compared to us majority normies. Sodomites, who don’t usually form families and thus can avoid the expenses that families entail, have far more disposable income than us normies do. That’s why corporations never stop pandering to them, at least here in the Western World where the people they hate are courteous enough not to go “Old Testament” on them.
Yep 👏 All you have to do is see how they do business in foreign countries, and it’s clear that they’re just pandering to modern U.S. culture for money. They don’t care.
