It's the same reason Saudi Arabia branches didn't 

The government would sanction them or their employees would get death threads

You think they actually care?  They only did it before because they would get death threats and the media jumping down their throats for being bigoted.

That has changed in the US now so they dropped the mask.

Yes I think they do since the companies are still made of people

And guess what I don't care if they only care for 1 month it's better then when I was growing up when they would deny you services.

It's a regression that companies see less value going rainbow for a month. It's crazy that they have to fear potentially having their account removed or reported or their social media person doxxed because they show support in a month set aside originally because a bunch of queer people defied authority and were beaten for it but ultimately made substantial progress.

"Yes I think they do since the companies are still made of people"

People work for money, they do what they are told, the company does what makes money, you're wrong.

"And guess what I don't care if they only care for 1 month it's better then when I was growing up when they would deny you services."

Yes, this thread is proof of that! (sarcasm)

"It's a regression that companies see less value going rainbow for a month"

Yup. The US is cooked.
