But there are a lot of folks who are still pretty burned up about it.

You can tell who they are because they keep calling a normal preference "perverted". Which is undoubtedly why the bank just rolled its eyes and decided it had better things to do with its time than deal with a nut.

So, gays do not have "full rights"?

What, specifically, are they missing?

I’m all for inclusiveness, but this is just pandering the the gay community, and figuring nobody will care.

If I were the customer, I’d be only too happy to take my accounts elsewhere. Here’s the thing though. When I worked in a bank, I had to call a phone number, punch in certain information, and if there was an unfavorable history with another bank, I could not open the account. I was not told the reason, but just yes or no. Scotia Bank could poison the well for this customer if they chose to.

Actually, it is "pandering" to the majority opinion about gay people.

I wouldn't consider simply seeing a pride flag on an app "pushing gay pride stuff on me", though.

I probably wouldn't even make note of it, actually, or would just figure they are trying to market to a certain demographic.

But yeah, if I didn't like a business for whatever reason, I would just move my money elsewhere.

We can't even be sure this actually happened. I did a little Googling, and the ONLY place this store appears is in the article in the OP, which appears to be some kind of bizarre alternative-world thing, not a legit publication. They refer to "the plandemic" and call the rainbow flag "perversion-saturated symbology", lmao. Not exactly Nobel-level journalism here.

What’s the problem? He complained using offensive language to an employee. The bank told him to take a hike and move his business elsewhere. There are other big banks in Canada.

Scotiabank won’t miss his business. Their total assets are about $1.3 trillion.

Perhaps there is more tolerance of verbal abuse in the U.S.?

It's a business decision. They want the LGBT business, just like when they show black people in February or Asians or mixed-race people in their ads. The only agenda a bank or other business is pushing is making money.

In June, I laughed when I saw that Budweiser had made up fancy cans with rainbows on them. Blatant marketing tactic. I took a photo of the stacked cans in the liquor store and sent it to a lesbian friend, who said, "Oh, it's getting out of hand with the marketing. Do they think we're all that gullible that we'll buy their products just because they stuck a rainbow on it?" A few days later, I was out walking and saw a crushed Bud rainbow can lying at the side of the road. I took a picture of it and sent it to the lesbian friend and said, "you damn LGBT people and your littering". She thought it was funny.

To get ANGRY over a marketing picture on an app seems to be a symptom of a deeper problem.

Yes. You agreed that gays have no legal rights.
And everyone is asking you for examples.
