    Does anyone, literally any sane person, actually believe that corporate America selling rainbows is tangible support? That’s putting the cart before the horse. Queer folk are largely socially accepted->low risk->support.

    To be clear, I hope they continue marketing rainbows but I don’t pretend that it’s anything other than convenient money. Capitalism commodifies and co-opts, it doesn’t support. See: black mirror episode 2

      I’ve certainly met people who claim Capitalism is the key for LGBT acceptance and less overt racism, and therefore supports those people.

      I am far more with you on your point of view. Capitalism only supports making more money.
