Recognition promotes acceptance, so yeah.
I mean yeah, that's just what corporations do. All they care about is profit. They've never actually cared about people... especially one that sells a deadly, toxic, addictive product that ruins countless lives.
I can understand that. Idk though…I feel like when it’s politicized or used for economic/voting wealth some people get angry and people who were otherwise on the fence about being accepting and respecting people for being people (should be doing anyway) turn more against the idea. I guess both things can be true. It probably helps some people be more accepting but it also probably encourages some people to be more unaccepting.
I wish we could take politics out of it but that’s pretty much impossible because there does need to be protections in place and anti discrimination.
Just like I wish we could take money out of politics but that will never happen either. It’s already so corrupt with money and lobbys, pay offs, etc.
I will say that it is strange that the ceo used to work for the CIA. I really feel like the government uses things like this to kinda control the masses. Keep us divided and focused on each other and it keeps our focus off of them.
I just can’t help but wonder how many ppl that would otherwise would have been accepting or at least indifferent had it not been used by companies for a profit or parties for gains. And I think it has created more of a divide if that makes sense when it’s so clearly being used for manipulation to either divide us or increase finances.
I don’t know…
I very much believe in equal rights for everybody regardless of our immutable characteristics such as race, gender, sexual preference, etc. It just sickens me to see companies use it in this way and politicians on both sides as well, but I guess it’s just the way the world works.
