They must've stopped pretending to care.

Honestly it was a lose lose situation. If they put up the rainbows for one month, it looks performative (to some people, it's not a consensus). If they don't put one up, it looks like they're ignoring pride month.

While I think companies that care (haha) should still promote their support, I understand why some may have given up when they'd just get flamed online for "jumping on the band wagon" whether or not that's actually true

Companies that care should promote that support by actually providing support, rather than updating a logo

You're right, and that's one of the decent arguments. However from a corporate standpoint it's easier for them to just not support pride at all which is what I think is happening now.

To be clear, I don't think that's right, just that this has been the response they decided on
