    Because normalisation of corporate pride means normalisation of money in pride. And normalisation of money in pride means normalisation of pandering to the sources of that money.

    The end result of this chain of events is handing over organisation of pride to the people who make money instead of the people who are effective at progressing the goals of the movement.

    Corporations are incompatible with radicalism because anything radical is almost always unpopular until after the radical movement has effected change. If you have corporations anywhere near the driving seat, or wielding the money that goes into these events, you water down the movement.

    This becomes very obvious when you realise that corporations would not support kink at pride, and how much kink at pride is "debated" by liberals who seek to coopt, water down pride and make it into a family event that makes money and generates tourism for whatever city it takes place in.
