about target pulling some pride merch in some southern stores after their employees were threatened... do you think they should have kept all the pride stuff up?

they should have kept everything up. they should have painted the entire store in rainbow. same goes for bud light, they should have doubled down and made all the cans rainbow. if you're gonna be with us, either be with us or gtfo.

you know how when you come out to your parents and they give you tepid acceptance, but the minute a friend or other bigoty family member comes over and suddenly you need to keep your queerness to yourself? it's kinda like that. like. either stand with us like an actual ally or quit pretending to support us.

target pulling merch, hiding merch, removing all of their signage... all that's gonna do is teach fascists that they can get their way if they yell enough. (this also doesn't get into the waste of materials and resources of pulling these items and then just chucking them into the garbage instead of giving them out to be used)

bud light placing marketing employees "on leave" also teaches the same lesson. if you scream enough, if you threaten to bomb places, they will cave.

any company that is going to act like they support queer people should have an inherent understanding that it comes with a risk. the fact that these companies want our money but refuse to stand with us against the fascists just shows that they are only on our side so long as it is profitable. it's taking the mask off of corporate pride and showing the actual truth the lies beneath.

actual allies don't run away the second things get difficult. being an actual ally comes with risks. anyone claiming to be an ally that runs away the second anything remotely sketchy happens is not an actual ally.

and that's doubly so for corporations. i feel bad for all of the queer folks within target, bud light and others that worked so hard to actually make shit happen to only get told "actually, no, fuck you" because of fascists.

Gay for Pay: The Dystopian Tactics of Rainbow Capitalism

"People often believe that they have some sway over these companies, in the same way we see the later iterations of Godzilla being brought onto the side of humanity. But are they just tricking themselves into thinking they are the ones controlling godzilla.org – when, in fact, it is an uncontrollable entity from the depths of capitalism, which acts entirely in accordance with its own interests?"

In the US, corporate pride means rainbow logos for a few weeks. In Finland, at least one company is actually embracing the legacy of leather culture.

Finish pet store chain Musti ja Mirri has commissioned artwork for Helsinki Pride in the style of Tom of Finland. (With permission from the Tom of Finland Foundation, of course.)

Screw the rainbow logos, this is how corporate pride should be done!

yeah LexCorp is absolutely the sort of company which would do the whole 'corporate pride thing'

trans rights

[ID in alt text + under cut]

[Image One: A fake tweet by 'LexCorp', which is a verified account with the handle @ LexCorp. Their icon is the LexCorp logo in the style of the DCAU (a triangle with a section cut out of its right side to form an L, with 'LEXCORP' written beneath in geometric letters) except there has been a pride flag overlaid the background. The tweet reads, "During this #PrideMonth, LexCorp is committed to stand with and celebrate the LGBTIQ+ community. We are determined to foster a culture which is accepting and inclusive, and recognises all backgrounds and identities. From our family to yours, take #Pride!". It was posted 11:43am, on June 2, 2017, from the Twitter Web App. It has 43.2k retweets, 54.2k quote tweets, and 211.9k likes.

Image Two: A thread of fake tweets, all posted on June 2nd. The first is by '🍀 juney🍀 // no lex at pride 🏳️‍🌈', whose handle is @ superedman and whose icon is Superman from the DCAU holding up a peace sign. It reads, "lex luthor i will never believe a word you say EVER and making pride posts just convinces me ur homophobic get well soooon 🥰🥰". It has 342 replies, 771 retweets, and 12.5k likes. The second is by 'NK', whose handle is @ ramennoodlekid, and whose icon is Black Star from the anime Soul Eater making a cringing face. It reads, "Dude why are you guys so determined to make yourself the victims ffs the company is literally supporting you calm down". It has 129 replies, 157 retweets, and 585 likes. The third tweet is also from Juney, and reads, "i wonder why i have trust issues when LexCorp has lied to the public's faces time and time again. JUST THIS WEEK it was a controversy abt underpaying their workers 🥰🥰🙃 read daily planet and GET WELL SOON!!!!!". It has 542 replies, 967 retweets, and 14.4k likes.

Image Three: A fake tweet with a response. The first tweet is from 'Lois Lane', a verified account whose handle @ lois_lane, and whose icon is Gary Frank's artwork of Lois, looking to the left with a pensive expression, short hair, and a sunset behind her. It reads: "LexCorp employees do not have a comprehensive gender transition policy, and there have been reports of workplace discrimination against LGBTQ+ people. Just a reminder. Read more about it in today's morning edition of @ DailyPlanet." It was posted at 10:09am on June 4th, 2017, from the Twitter Web App. It has 42.6k retweets, 18.9k quote tweets, and 114.8k likes. The reply is from user 'goose🦢 | 🅱️uperman stan', whose handle is @ jimmjam101, and whose icon is Linda Danvers as Supergirl flying through the rain. It reads, 'GET HIS ASS. trans rights'. It has 1.5k replies, 9.8k retweets, and 30.2k likes, and was posted on June 4th.

[Image description Text "You know that concept where some horrid monster replicates the sound of a human crying for help in a language it doesn't even understand to lure others into a trap?" Attached images are corporate logos modified to have rainbows added]

PSA: You really do not need to qualify your public support of Dylan Mulvaney with some variation on "she seems annoying but...." Shut the fuck up! She's a 26 year old trans woman who came out like last year, who was hung out to dry by a massive corporation and is still getting death threats. Your feelings about her theater kid energy have no place in the conversation.

I need you all to realise that when the right wing gets its way your family friendly, corporate pride, non problematic bootlicking no kink at pride exclusionist ass will be lined up at the wall right beside my nonbinary, harness wearing, bdsm loving and slur reclaiming one, and I will probably still hold your hand when it comes to that because none of us deserves to die scared and alone but I hope that you die with the realisation that you betrayed your siblings standing with you there for the apreciation of your murderers

#lgbt #pride #corporate pride #queer is queer #they hate us all the same #and they wont stop at any off us #no mater how non offensive or palatable you make yourself #you´re only stabing the community in the back

How about instead of buying corporate pride merch, you just give a queer person $20 instead. That’d literally do more for the community and would make you 10x the ally than the average person is.
