Pride Month begins tomorrow. Considering Target and Bud Light, how do you think the nation will respond this year?

Everyone's favorite military industrial complex took part in this year's pride parade! At least when brown people get drone striked in the middle east, they can feel rest assured that the missiles were most likely created by an LGBT worker! When war crimes are committed in the middle east, at least the weapons were made by a progressive company!

Lockheed Martin's Hellfire missiles are great at blowing up aid workers. Don't worry though, Afghanistan citizens aren't people, and no US official faced any punishment for drone striking a bunch of aid workers.

unless these people ban children from the internet wholesale, the books are the least of their problems.

I'm sure some governments are cooking this up.

As a secondary question;

If the Dylan Mulvaney debacle had turned out the other way, and all of a sudden, billions of dollars started flowing INTO Bud Light sales, would that change your opinion one way or another?

damn, we're actually out here thinking that people magically change at 18 and are then suitable to figure out how life works. no one batted an eye when copies of game of thrones were readily available in libraries for anyone to check out, even kids. for fucks sake 90% of people on this website lived during the wild west of the internet, and we all seemingly turned out ok, regardless of the meatspin/mr hands/lemon party shit that people linked to kids ALL THE TIME. don't even get me started on the adult section of newgrounds. what the fuck is up with all of the pearl clutching nowadays. fuck i distinctly remember people daring eachother to look up that shit on the library computers in middleschool/high school. unless these people ban children from the internet wholesale, the books are the least of their problems.

Federal law requires public schools to use software to block pornographic websites, but schools often use that software to block sites that provide positive, useful information about LGBT issues, even though the websites aren’t sexually explicit in any way. When schools block pro-LGBT sites but still allow access to hate sites that condemn LGBT people or urge them to try to “pray away the gay,” it’s viewpoint discrimination and it violates students’ rights under the First Amendment.

damn, sounds like fuckery to me. thanks for bringing this to my attention. since my wife works as a therapist in her school district i was gonna see if she could talk to some higher ups about this, there has been a serious issue with kids mainlining joe rogan and andrew tate in their district and it's causing a lot of behavioral issues.

I doubt anything would actually change. They simply would have express their hate anyway or ignored it and quickly moved on to use something else to express their hate instead.

Just trying to figure out something here with AB's stock. People are going crazy saying that the stock has lots BILLIONS and that their boycott is hitting their wallets.

Looking at the stock graph, you can barely tell the boycott from the regular movement of the stock.

There were actually tons of idiots who switched from one AB beer to another without ever realizing it, so yeah it's not surprising the needle hasn't really moved. Looks like they're at the exact same place they were a year ago, if not slightly better off.

What

Companies don't care about people, it's all about making the most money for them. Depending on the location of the company and learning how to pander to whatever demographic in that location is likely to gain money or lose it is all that concerns that directors of those companies. After all you aren't going to sell many strap-ons in Afghanistan, however in San Fransico it might be a different matter.

If you are a company that sells gay stuff - you make your money from the gays.
If you are a company that sells Bibles - you will just piss off your userbase if you try to push the gay agenda to that userbase.

A company that sells beer should have though about the userbase before trying to push a gay agenda, the same with a company such as Target, as they are finding out now that the users don't want the agenda pushed onto them.

On the other hand a company that deals in selling size 10 womens shoes - probably want to pander to transvestites as these people have bigger feet than an average woman.

Basically these companies need to know who their customer base is and don't try to piss off the people that spend money on their products.

Gay agenda? The right to exist?

Coors has been supporting LGBTQ+ causes possibly longer than any other mainstream beer brand, since the 1980s. Conservatives never take the time to research this stuff though, which is why all their boycotts are a joke.

If they did research, they won’t be Consertives
