It's almost like gay people buy Snickers bars, too. Sure. All kinds of people do. But, March is Irish American Heritage Month, and almost 10% of Americans identify as Irish-American, but few corporations change their corporate logos for the month of March. LOL. No one can say you aren't good at what you do. |

My brother bought me a Revolution Brewing Pride T-shirt a few years ago as part of my Christmas gift. I'm not sure I've ever worn it. It's a little strange: I'm sure he wouldn't think twice about wearing it in The Bubble. But I would feel, ashamedly, a little weird about it.
And I don't think guys are going to hit on me any more than women do, which is to say not at all, so that's not exactly it.

I'm not sure what's hard to understand about the idea that once something becomes mandatory, or compulsory, or even expected, then the act of doing that thing is lessened.
If you were required to tell your wife that you loved her on a daily basis, then doing so wouldn't prove very much.
The expectation that you buy flowers on Valentine's Day cheapens the act.
And so, when the Marines, or Snickers, tell you how much they love the LGBTQ+ community, once a year, at the same time everyone else is doing the same thing, it looses loses a lot of the meaning.

Meanwhile, when the world isn't in lockstep regarding Christmas greetings, we get this on a loop for four weeks: ![]() ![]() Sure as shit, there's not a single public company that incorporates a Cross or Jesus into their corporate logo during the Christmas season. |

Yeah, if the Good Doctor can work for the Moonie owned Washington Times, and you can work for an Ultra MAGA attorney, then I guess we can all put aside our personal feelings, and celebrate the corporate embrace of Pride Month. |

LOL, he's not an "Ultra MAGA," but the guy in the office next to mine is definitely an extreme social conservative with no reservations about letting you know it, if the occasion calls for it.
