That being said, even the illusion that corporations support queer people increases the overall societal pressure to support it. It’s a sign that we won the culture war, definitively.
I posit the reverse: that some corporations choose to display tokenistic commodified support because overall social pressure exists to show support of some kind.
It’s both, escalating in a positive feedback loop. That’s how culture wars are won.
No, it absolutely isn't.
Almost half of the United States either hates LGTBQ+ people or has no problem supporting politicians who will promote anti-LGBTQ+ policies. I am genuinely boggled as to how you've come to the conclusion that you've won any kind of culture war, considering its absolutely still going on.
Corporations use rainbow paint to cover their hideous and ghoulish faces while they siphon every last cent out of the people who aren't shareholders. They are not your friends.
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.

As one of a leftwing persuasion, it's our pleasure to see rent free accommodation out in the world.
Babe wake up. New wojaks just dropped.
Porque no los dos
I spent over an hour on Saturday playing rainbow popsicle shop with a 3 year old. Big popsicle is out of control.
There could be more than one reason maybe?
Acceptance of any minority is priceless for said minority. By putting a pricetag on trans acceptance, businesses work to fundamentally devalue them and their experience.
Wait, who the fuck claims that?
Alas, a handful of people in the replies for starters.
I'm not one for leftism, but this is so on the money that it kinda hurts.
I’m not one for leftism
There's your problem.

“Nah fam, it’s just another capitalist moneymaking scheme”
