Dozens of big companies from Delta and Coca-Cola to Walmart are sponsoring LGBTQ+ Pride events and displaying racks of Pride-themed merchandise. But this year, the rainbow has lost some shine. Longtime Pride sponsors like Bud Light and Target have come under attack by conservatives for their LGBTQ-friendly marketing. Calls to boycott Kohl’s, Lego and Southwest Airlines for their LGBTQ-friendly marketing have also popped up in recent days. Nonetheless, many big companies are still backing Pride celebrations. Some say they want to support their LGBTQ+ employees. They also don't want to turn their back on a population with significant spending power.
That’s the real reason. Bible thumpers are a loud minority, and acquiescing to their extreme demands would alienate everyone else.
I think a large portion of right-wing “followers” are not very well educated, while a lot of left-wing supporters are quite educated. It follows that left-wing supporters probably have better paying jobs and thus more money to spend.
Generalize much
Yea it’s definitely generalized. I don’t mean to state it as fact though. I realize it’s just my opinion.
They are also good “consumers”. I think a lot of LGBT peeps understand the concept of “rainbow capitalism” and it doesn’t way as heavily on their decisions in most cases, unlike the guys who blow up their Nikes with Tannerite or whatever
