Like last year they kept the rainbow flag profile pics up for the entire year. Now they aren’t doing it because they are fearful of some lumpenproletariat boycott. Reactionary workers are worse than pro-lgbt bourgeoisie. I’m gonna side with whoever respects the rights of trans people to literally exist and if neither are gonna do that then fuck both of them!
they already are throwing us to the dogs. this poster (I think) is saying that even though corporations have nothing substantial to offer lgbt people, the fact that they saw queer people as a target market was some level of utterly unfaithful support, but the fact that even that is dissolved is extremely worrying . we hate corporations, but i also hate that I have to think about how clockable I am so I can judge how much danger I could be in outside of a very small set of queer friendly establishments which are now regularly targeted by chuds anyways. I get so exhausted when people talk only in abstract theory terms when we just don't want to potentially get our heads bashed in at the grocery store. corporations giving up fake solidarity is a signpost that even the people who only served to make money off of you don't see that value anymore.
It's a canary in the coal mine, a worrying sign for sure. That's a far cry from being so confused like OP that you start calling for the canary to save you and protect you.
