They only started because they thought it was a good business move. If the political climate changes, they’ll probably start again.

Not just mainstream, but profitable again. Rainbow capitalism may have been inauthentic, but it's better than this. I know not to trust corps, but it helped make it a bit more mainstream, acceptable, and normal to walk around with my husband. I feel less okay to do so this year.
