One thing I don’t like is faux corporate support for pride month. Think rainbow branding for large organizations that don’t actually do much to improve the systems they benefit from.
A good smoke test to see if rainbow-flag/BLM-repping organizations actually give a shit: test their website’s accessibility. If they ignore disabled users because they’re a minority with different needs, well, that probably speaks volumes regarding their attitudes towards any minority. Actions speak louder than words.
They don’t care about minorities; they’re only in if for the branding. When a soulless organization uses your symbols, it remains soulless.
Soulless organizations don’t have good or evil intent. Fork Yeah! The Rise and Development of Illumnos (starts at ). put this best in his talk
