While I don’t like corporate pride I’m scared about how many companies aren’t participating this year for fear of backlash. (hexbear.net)

Like last year they kept the rainbow flag profile pics up for the entire year. Now they aren’t doing it because they are fearful of some lumpenproletariat boycott. Reactionary workers are worse than pro-lgbt bourgeoisie. I’m gonna side with whoever respects the rights of trans people to literally exist and if neither are gonna do that then fuck both of them!

I agree, and finding an ally in major banks and retailers doesn't make things 'boring and household'. That's like saying American Christmas is 'boring and household'. I'd rather have queerness and rainbows be like American Hannukah, where I don't need to be sold identity validation.

Not that any of that was within community advocates of LGBT movements control btw, these corporate trends operate mostly outside of their influence. I just don't think it changes the ball game all that much.
