This way, when the pendulum swings in the other direction and they try to take advantage of us again by showing their support, we can point to the record and show people that it’s not sincere.

We shouldn’t allow them to play both sides of the fence like this.

    I don’t think it’s particularly helpful. It doesn’t matter which companies do or don’t. NONE of them are our friends. Ever.

      I don’t mean to be contrarian, but I do want to point to lots of queer-owned businesses that truly mean it when they celebrate the community!

        Queer owned businesses aren’t ones that 99.9% of people interact with on a daily basis. I doubt there are 5 queer owned businesses that are publicly traded.

          It wouldn’t be queer owned if it was publicly traded. It would be owned by shareholders.
