Oh no, did Lockheed Martin and the Pinkerton Detective Agency not change to a rainbow Twitter logo? The horror.
All shit like that accomplished was letting brands pinkwash their image, while the association caused harmed to queer people around the world. It’s hard to promote LGBT rights if your country is staring down bombs with rainbows painted on them. Meanwhile, those same companies would often materially support conservative politicians, while offering purely symbolic support for queer people.
“How does the Murder Factory feel about gay rights?” is looking at things with completely the wrong priorities. The world is better off with that bullshit image stripped away, even if it’s happening for the wrong reasons.
