Several companies have canceled $300,000 in support for SF's Pride parade.

"Comcast; Anheuser-Busch…wine company La Crema; and…the beverage company that produces Guinness, Smirnoff and other alcoholic drink brands"

Corporations should be increasing support, not decreasing it.

It's almost as if they weren't ever supportive of Pride for real, but just wanted to advertise.

Fair weather sponsors. Amoral companies.

Well... weather some companies were serious allies or just wanted good marketing, all will be clear these days.

All companies rolling back DEI and pride supports just show us that they NEVER cared. Some people within maybe did, but not companies.

Customers hopefully will act accordingly.

Unfortunately, don't expect anything looking like courageous moves from these companies in the near future.

this seems good though, SF pride has become nothing more than an all-day ad for the largest mega corporations.

So now I will boycott these companies. By not boycotting these companies is not supporting your family members. Everyone is related to someone in this community. Look at what's happening to Tesla. You would think they weren't that stupid!
