I'm straight and I won't either. I don't do business with bigots. Leave people the fuck alone. Mind your own damn business.

To be fair most LGBT+ people forget after every pride month that companies only observed it to make a buck.

I do appreciate the rainbow cakes and 2in inseam shorts for sale though. The one month a year when you can find some cute stuff in bright colors. (At least physically, and indie)

What does it matter? It was always virtue signaling anyways. They've NEVER cared about LGBTQ+ people. They don't even care about regular people. Hopefully less people will use these corporations and they will lose profit.
