Thinking about how everyone in the queer community has always kinda scoffed at and resented the "rainbow avatars for pride month" phenomenon, rainbow posters in the windows of banks etc, and it *is* a pretty hollow form of support, but now that we're *actually seeing corps get blowback for it* as the LGBT rights rollback proceeds in the US, it's like those useless rainbow avatars were actually providing a vague service as an early warning system. The horrible, cancerous canary in the coal mine

"Unicorn Squad" "Unicorn Football" What on earth does Unicorn Football mean?! I don't know but at least that's the kind of inscrutable joke the gay community would actually make instead of the kind of inscrutable joke corporations make

If you’re gonna put a rainbow flag on your business that is nice but to impress? Keep it up when it gets rough.
