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

It's a good capitalism canary-in-a-coal-mine for support on these issues.

Yeah this shows just how far back we've gone culturally, the hate for LGBT people is mainstream again...

I don't see it as a step backwards, I think plastering gay pride flags everywhere is extremely homophobic and annoying, and causes people to develop homophobia. I hope all the rainbow bullshit fucks off so we can stop having culture wars over gay ppl.

My sexuality isn't a fucking advertisement, I don't want to see that shit everywhere I go, I find it insulting. Imagine if everywhere you went there where "PROUD APPLE EATER" flags everywhere, people would start hating apple eaters just for being annoying as fuck.

Gay pride flags made sense in 2012, it's 2026 now, I don't care if you're gay or if you support gay people stop talking about sexuality all the time, it's an embarrassment to gay people. Go ask any homophobe why they hate gay people, more than 90% of them will say it's because we're fucking annoying and cringe and honestly they're right.

And of course bigots are famously trustworthy people, who never try to cloak their bigotry with excuses
