At the pride parade in Washington, D.C., earlier this month, accounting giant Deloitte promoted its support of the LGBTQ community: In June 2023, Deloitte produced a report on "LGBT+ Inclusion @ Work." In a letter accompanying the report, Emma Codd, the company's Global Chief Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Officer, said she hoped it would enable organizations "to take the necessary steps to turn positive messaging on LGBT+ inclusion into concrete actions."

Rainbow capitalism is still exploitive capitalism

      I go to Pride to revel in my community and support the local LGBT vendors/small businesses. Couldn’t care less about whatever big corp is there, as they’re all equally soulless. Plus I like to get my face painted

      We’ve got at least two pride events where I live. There’s “corpo pride” with the parades and booths set up by corporate sponsors. You may get a few local businesses in there, but it’s mostly the flag waving corporations clamoring for cash. That was earlier this month. Next weekend we’ll have “people’s pride” which is funded and organized directly by local people. Tends to be much more fun.
