Amid the Trump administration’s crackdown on diversity and equity efforts and a torrent of legislative attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, Pride organizers around the nation are facing a decline in sponsorships and visible corporate support: cnn.it/4hMRorj
Shame on the corporations who bow to such a person.
Corporation throughout the United States are bending to the will of this administration. From rolling back DEI initiatives to eliminating remote work. The bizarre move does not benefit shareholders or employees and his alienating consumers. It’s shameful to see corporate America give in so easily.
MAGA = NAZIS
Attacks on diversity and personal autonomy are the cause of the day. Corporations want to pay fewer taxes, and with Dufus Tarrif Dealer running the show, they will be more beholden to Da Don. Kiss his ring and maybe you’ll get a contract with me. It is no longer valuable to celebrate inclusion.
If businesses want to win hearts and future clients, the best way is to undermine the current administration by supporting marginalized communities. People remember who their friends are, and who caved like a bunch of runty cowards.
Send them CNN money NOT taxpayers money
Y'all will not erase us!
They sure won’t… And now they’re not gonna get any of our money either!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha… It’s almost like these “people” don’t know that us lgbt ppl can put together a party and less than 47 seconds and have 300 ppl show up in 20 minutes… and we never needed sponsors… Lol
a convict gets elected president but pride is bad! 🙄
Let’s not forget most Republicans are child molesters… They like little boys and girls… And they have the unmitigated gall to blame us… they are fucking pigs in suits…
It's weird that the administration is pushing this, since Barron is clearly gay.
It’s only ever about the profits with corporations. If you can, stop spending your hard-earned $$ on/with these businesses
I always knew all that corporate “diversity & inclusion” crap was just window dressing. Companies care about profit, not people. The second the Cheeto won, they dropped the act and showed their true colors. Never forget—they’re in it for the money, not your community.
#lolX
Remember their names. Don’t do business with anyone folding to this dictator.
How cute, you pretend to advocate for minority group rights. Meanwhile you provide a platform to this hateful, genocide advocating propagandist POS.
It is in the public interest to out sponsors that now routinely sponsor Trump (through campaign donations, inauguration donations, Mar a Lago dine with Trump fees, bribes to get exemptions to Trump's economic threats, etc) yet after years of Pride sponsorship, just decided for some reason to stop.
Why do they need money?
Considering how many Americans are currently rattling on about "don't blame me" and "not all Americans", it's really quite extraordinary how easily y'all are just rolling over on pretty much everything. Often without the slightest bit of pressure. Not all Americans? Show us.
Please, enough. Self-validate.
Stop normalizing this as a federal administration. this is an autocracy, oligarchy, facist regime, dictatorship. Pick one.
Gays bad. Rapists and pedos good. We are truly FUCKED!
Oh please Pride and the LGBTQ people have been celebrating without corporate sponsors for DECADES… What you’re talking about is just in the past 8 years… All corporations wanted was a piece of the pie $$$ DUH Pride and LGBTQ life will continue to go on as long as this planet keeps turning.. 🤣
LGB Without The T ✌️
Stupidest shit, I’ve ever heard…. No matter what you think or feel… We’re all in this together… LMAO.
LGB✂️TQ
Stupidest shit I’ve ever seen.. We are and have always been LGBTQ and nobody not even your ignorant ass ain’t gonna change that. Yes you will always be LGBTQ… because that’s what you are….
And many Pride groups see that as a win. Get corporations out of it.
I was done with St Pete Pride when the 50th Anniversary of Stonewall was celebrated with the mammoth "Tech Data Corporation St Pete Pride" sign over the area entrance.
Ouch, how tone deaf. 😬😳 Yea, corporations have shown they aren't actual allies anyways, so them running is likely better in the long run.
Trump is destroying America!
"Amid the trump's administration to crack down on KINDNESS..." There. I fixed it. Call it what it is. Evil. It is not a crime to be kind. But that is exactly what this administration is doing. "You are so WOKE". "Thank you. I am so KIND". Change one word. You change the whole conversation💜🇨🇦
Next time these corperations try to come back to pride throw bricks at them
It's now when you know who's the real ally. It's now when you get rid of candies and plastic crap. It's about visibility and showing that we're never going away and that banks and corporations should have never been part of it from the start.
Poor, poor fascist Trump America!
Of course they didn’t care to begin with. They got along to get along.
No crack down on diversity just elevating excellence. Do you feel left out?
It’s almost as if these companies were never true allies in the first place. Almost as if corporations would sell the souls of their own children to the devil himself, if it makes money for them. So when it was convenient to be our ally, they were there. Now that it’s not, they’re not. Pathetic
This is not an administration. It is a regime of incompetence, corruption, cruelty and weak bullies. They count on capitulation to their illegal demands in order to stay in power. When the sane majority finally rids ourselves of this fascist scourge, we will remember who were the cowards.
PS Corporate media have been the biggest cowards of all.
Start charging all the straight people admission. Yes I’m joking but in a way I’m not . Some of these pride events have become a free for all of unruly behavior and drugs. A Gay person can feel likes he’s in a minority at his own events.
Here we go with this shit all over again. All because one tiny little bronze man couldn't take a joke, became a russian asset, got his "ego" stroked by a bunch of homophobic religious pricks and thinks he landed the greatest part in reality tv! JFC!
Stonewall was a riot 🌈
Literally and figuratively… Lol
Corporate support was always rainbow capitalism. It was about exploitation of a very marginalized community for extra profit. Clear as day now. It’s undeniable. True allies want and expect nothing in return. Never forget.
