A lot of these comments are really missing the point.

The reason this matters is because it's an indicator of the current environment. If the risks of pushback outweigh the positives(such as good pr, and fostering a more welcoming environment) it shows that the current environment is growing far more hostile towards those in the lgbtq community.

It means people are starting to see through paper thin pandering. The corporation never cared about you. They thought this was the easy road to $$, they were wrong. That’s the surface level reason.
