    Funny it doesn’t go both ways. Blue-chip companies are glad to rainbow up in June even if they show a history of underemploying LGBT folk and failing to acknowledge gay families. Heck, some of them support anti-LGBT activist groups while still flying rainbws.

    I suspected it was about silencing Jezebel even though they are way less radical than the far-right interests they regard as stil brand safe… or are glad to support until the public notices.
