Now's the time when you see who the real allies are. The corporations were using the gay community for marketing.

Maybe we should have people dying of AIDS on the streets so we can all learn while singing the Bohemian Rhapsody while dancing like Michael Jackson.
The orange fat scarecrow would do that. Over the weekend he personally let Israel bomb Gaza again and Iran the hothies. According to the news which I'm totally misrepresenting and misremembering... A bunch of kids died there. If I had anything to do with something like that, I'd be crying and I would quit. But not orange man. That guy keeps doubling down. How about a bunch of twin babies and their moms? Eh Mr Orange? Is that enough murder?
Hold pride in the middle of nowhere to save money. Call it "Hot Human". The hookup spot is in the mud pit behind the bushes
This has always been the case with corporations. They operate for profit and nothing else.
If supporting social causes seems like a way to generate more profit, they do it. If it doesn't, they don't.
Corporations are not moral or ethical entities. They exist to generate money. Period. Anything suggesting the contrary is a lie designed to make more money.
Oh no, not the corporations. And here we thought they were ride or die and would always have the backs of the LGBTQ community!
Fuck 'em. Who wants or needs them? Queer people are not an "investment."
I'm not lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, or questioning, but I've been to Pride events in San Francisco, and a few other cities, because they're fun and inspiring and subversive! Pre-corporate, Pride was about announcing yourself and being yourself, and I don't know what the heck Comcast or Anheuser-Busch adds to that, beyond muddying the event by making it about cable TV or beer or something. My straight gut says, going without corporate sponsorships will make the parades and parties more fun.
Change the name from pride to rage, and protest against gay rights and you'll probably get funding and no straw in your way
Boy wait untl you hear how Pride day got started.
By protesting against gay rights?
I misread your comment but it started as a riot.
Tbf there was a typo there that obfuscated things a bit.
Rename pride to the stonewall parade
