You really need to learn when doing these polls that not everything is black and white and you need to add more options sometimes. In this case the answer would be both not either or.

How else do you polarize a community and create friction between friends???

JK Jo, thanks for doing these polls :)

 
Companies can't care- they're not people.  Just like tKR can't care about the war in ukraine, even though it has a flag supporting Ukraine.  

The person who created the flag, however, can and does care, just like I'm sure many of the people care in companies that theme pride month

 
The poll lacks a neutral option, but even if it did have one, it is a subject that cannot be properly analyzed in an internet forum, let alone in a one dimensional poll.

On one hand, the fact that pride (and diversity in general) is a subject that is openly talked about instead of being ignored or silenced, is a good thing. I also believe that the movement should become louder, especially when there are people who use every opportunity to bash on the pride and shout their bigoted opinions to the world (the more they try to push for their agenda, the more should people go against it).

Now however we go to the other hand which is the crux of the problem: they are corporations. Massive power bases who exploit resources and people (as resources) constantly, who absorb and retain every drop of value something has, and who can exploit and delete cultures/ideals/struggles on a whim. Their support of the LGBTQ+ movement is a scam, one that people have not realized it's true proportions. It's reached the point that it's less of a marketing scheme and more of a political exploitation. Vote for the politicians we lobby because they vaguely promise they won't fuck up your rights... maybe. And to top it all off, they exploit the other side of the spectrum as well. Cons rile themselves up, push politicians to follow an agenda that is close to going against the rights of the citizen, and laws that allow corporations to exploit their workers further pass.

The only way out of this is if the people gets their shit together, collectivize (pun intended) and fuck up the ones who exploit them, and who create differences between then.

Tl;dr LGBTQ+ rights good, corpos bad,  gimme my guns

 
Literally everything is for profit even breast cancer awareness. It really doesn’t matter what it is. If you want genuine look at their practices not just the products. Speak with your $$$ and don’t buy shit from just anyone. A dollar is hitting the like button. 

 
If selling homophobia was more profitable, most companies would be selling that. So I'm inclined to hold my applause.

I assume the NRA and all the massive capitalist organizations that make and market guns are excluded from your list of bad boys?? 😉❤️
