Has corporate pandering just gone too far? Its become commercialized to market and make money. Does there even need to be a month or day?

But is it a real holiday if there isn't a mattress or furniture sale?

Yes, it's overboard and tiresome. I mentioned this in another thread: I recently saw a sign in the window of a shoe store that said "Say Gay." So I said it, and then I laughed at how ridiculous this has all become.

And I really miss the time when rainbows were just sweet and non-political.

I have nothing against gays, just as I have nothing against red-headed parakeet owners. But if I had to endure a month of being reminded how special and important red-headed parakeet owners are, I'd be ready to ship them all to Siberia, along with their &%!@ parakeets.

It makes excellent marketing in many fortune 500 views.

Any more, most pride this or pride that... are ignored. Marry who you want. It is none of my concern.

PRIDE month went from being about accepting other who are different than you, to being all about sex and sexualizing children... I am tired and disgusted by seeing advertisements for child and teenage drag shows on Discovery+...

I've been screaming about this for years. It's all happening exactly like I said. Gay debauchery is the new normal.

Technically, it’s called Wokewashing. It’s like Greenwashing, but with rainbow flags instead of green leaves. It’s a way for corporations to distract the public from their less-than-ethical business practices.
