Tbh I thought this was about companies not changing their logo for the middle-eastern areas. Good on EA, politics have no place in business, especially since LGBT+ now represents politics more than sexuality or gender identity.

There was an editorial about gay Ukrainians and they go with the she/her pronouns. Ya, sure Jane. Media propaganda. The Azov Nazis would have killed they/them before the Russians.

Ukraine's 'unicorn' LGBTQ soldiers head for war
As volunteer fighters Oleksandr Zhuhan and Antonina Romanova pack for a return to active duty, they contemplate the unicorn insignia that gives their uniform a rare distinction - a symbol of their status as an LGBTQ couple who are Ukrainian soldiers.

Zhuhan and Romanova, who identifies as a non-binary person with she/her pronouns and moved to the capital from Crimea after being displaced in 2014, met through their theatre work.

It always rubbed me the wrong way when June came around and there was not one iota of LGBTQ+ representation to be found in the latest ISIS videos. I'd gather the family around to watch them and we all could tell right from the beginning just how intolerant these videos were going to be. I mean, we get it, slaying apostates is cool and all, but to blatantly disregard the neuro-diverse? Look, I'm all for the acceptance of different cultures, but it was truly unfathomable to witness such a flagrant lack of inclusion. Shame on you, ISIS! Shame on you! And I don't care if you change your twitter profile pic, it's too late!

Must be an easy job for the webmaster. Their logo on Linkedin jobs is rainbow, but their website is the same as always. Not a rainbow in sight.

Do you think Rainbow Road is just a normal Mario Kart track set in June?

This seems like a legitimately good way to approach this. Either you back up your fake performative support with deeds or cut the bullshit. If I'm interpreting it right, the employees are in the right here and all the people in this thread saying goodbye are just as full of it as EA was making their logo rainbow for the month.

I posted a link a month ago about the NBA and China. I thought it was limited to the league with their partnership money and players get a cut etc.... Turns out owners also chip in and do their own deals. One team owner has $300 million invested into China.
No wonder they all shut their mouths.

Why? look at how much arguing this sort of stuff creates, imagine if companies would officially start to lean toward political parties. It would never work.
This is somehow true. If a company does not officially show support for your side, it doesn't mean it automatically shows support for the other side. I welcome it, when they show their support, but I don't start to "hate" them if they don't show their support as long as they do the exact opposite. Worst thing that can happen that a company shows respect but doesn't respect anything.

Apple would look killer among those.Just rainbow the company logo on Twitter like everyone else.
I don't belong to any minority, that said I think companies "show support" for people when they hire and treat them with respect.
Apart from that they don't owe anything other than being as impartial and fair as possible.
Some CEO's do but it's never good advertising per see. Specially when they're radical.

Serious question....what injustices do the LBTG community still face in this day and age in terms of rights? At least in the West. I know there are bigots who will always hate that community and try to do hateful things, but you're not going to change their minds. What/where is the current oppression?

Look at this nonsense. FIRE THESE PEOPLE!!!! Back to xbox online: "You just got fucked up killed you fa**ot."
This is also our chance to be truly intersectional by celebrating the vast array of people and identities that make up the vibrant Xbox LGBTQIA+ global gaming communities. It is more important than ever to recognize that systems of inequity based on gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, class, and other forms of discrimination intersect and ultimately affect us all. The global issues that LGBTQIA+ communities face are interconnected and we must seek to address them together.
Wow, I just noticed that MS is giving money to Mermaids! They're under review.

As far as I have ever seen, it has always been the latter. Even during the '00s when not nearly as many were out of the closet, it was always incredibly obvious when PRIDE had an event happening on campus or somewhere in town. Why? Because no one else ever had "creative license" to walk through public ass naked sucking dildos and working them presumably up their asses and stuff while winking and blowing kisses at people of all ages who were unfortunate enough to be around that night. I really have no idea or concept of what the f--k their events actually were about, and they would even go out of their way to leave the so-called "multi-purpose room" (basically the 'party' room where concerts and shows were hosted) and walk throughout the rest of the Union building seeking other students out... just to show off their queerness and make passes at anyone they could make eye contact with.
Yeah, I found it disturbing. Being hit on by a dude in ass-less chaps inside the computing lab while trying to do homework probably has compounded my dislike for PRIDE. I could just forget about it, but that really grinded my gears because fuck off I'm doing homework in a lab not at a bar...

Here is a sci fi short story idea for any would be authors out there.
In a world were you are expected to support someone else's ideas. You must fight for someone else's ideas. You must be drafted into the military and fight for someone else's ideas.
It's sci fi now. But it didn't used to be. And soon might not be again.

Haha, oh god that would be nuts.
I suppose on this particular topic, I like to imagine that the baseline reaction for most people would be between indifference and content that a company is (albeit cynically) showing support for a good thing. And the ones who'd get upset are really only the ones who are against it, in this case actual homophobes. But that's obviously some kind of imaginary world I'm living in.
If only the arguing could be more productive.
