following pressure from a conservative think tank that holds shares in the company

Yeah, while I hate to say I rather support capitalism – living in a milder capitalism country in which the bigger problem is commercialism – I admit capitalism is broken fundamentally. Any bad actor can push their conspiracy just by putting money.

I rarely shop Best Buy as it is so it's not like avoiding them in the future is difficult for me, but I fear that a lot of big corps have something like this tucked away somewhere.

It's sad to realize that this type of conservative think tanks are everywhere. They are also counterproductive, but I guess they're just there to grab money from idiotic conservative donors with the lowest IQ.

I'm glad to say my employer is not like this, they promote pride month and have banners on their website etc.

Unfortunately they don't do this in Hungary, Saudi Arabia etc. I wish they were a bit more pushy on those sides but profit first I guess.
