This way, when the pendulum swings in the other direction and they try to take advantage of us again by showing their support, we can point to the record and show people that it's not sincere.

We shouldn't allow them to play both sides of the fence like this.

I don't think it's particularly helpful. It doesn't matter which companies do or don't. NONE of them are our friends. Ever.

I don't mean to be contrarian, but I do want to point to lots of queer-owned businesses that truly mean it when they celebrate the community!

They're still businesses and after they go public or are sold they will follow business rules.

Even when that's true, it still means they are genuinely supporting the gay community right now. An ally behaving imperfectly doesn't make them an enemy.
