#to expect from them

i’d rather have rainbow capitalism then living in constant fear of discovery. the woman in the pride flag disney t-shirt might be missing the nuance, but at least i know i can be myself. a street full of rainbow flags makes me more comfortable holding a mans hand. look. corporations aren’t your friend. they will sell to whoever will buy. but kids seeing gay everything every year is only ever a good thing, and a massive improvement in history

THIS THIS THIS

“Nyeh they don’t actually care about you!!!” YEAH I KNOW. BUT FUCK IF IM NOT GONNA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT AND FEEL SAFER. Seeing rainbows everywhere is better than not knowing where I am and am not accepted. Even if corporations are lying and don’t really support queer people, L to them because they’re enabling the further normalization of our existence. They played themselves.

#like that one post said thoughts like this can coexist#corporations being all rainbow is only in interest of profit and they continue to fuck us over by lobbying against us#but that doesn’t change the fact that the rainbow wave is a sign of public opinion changing#and as it gets harder to find places that don’t show support (even if that support is completely superficial) it gets easier for kids#to realize who they are earlier and maybe even not deal with the self hatred that a lot of us deal with

#i think a lot of people forget that compnies straight up used to..not accept gay or trans money#as in: we would rather not have your business than deal with you. go elsewhere#as in: we won’t hire you. we actively despise your ‘kind’#if you’re gay and use our brand in relation to you we will shun you and detach ourselves#like rainbow capitalism is Horryfying and pinkwashing is 1000% a thing#but believe it or not it’s an improvement on what was before#depressing? sure. welcome to the world. progress isn’t a straight line
