CONTEXT: So, in a thread on Piefed, somebody asked me this:
how do you personally feel about Pride Month? Particularly, the corporate side of it, the rainbow filters on the brands that historically prosecuted queer identity.
Myself personally I find them turning queer identity into products to consume and collect rather disgusting.
And I wanted to repost my answer here, because I think I managed to express myself quite well and it encapsulates some thoughts that I have about this topic.
Pride Month is super important for the community. It's both a moment of joy and a moment of open resistance for us. As for the corporate side of it, I take it as an indicator. Like, for example, no matter what, I will never tolerate brands or even fucking sponsorships at my local pride march. That is absolutely out of the question. But companies pandering to specific communities is nothing new. And it's not limited to the queer community.
Corporate pandering, to me, is like a canary in a coal mine.
When it's singing, the air is breathable. So when we have the rainbow logos or the Black Lives Matter corporate post or Black History Month colored logo or whatever, it is a sign that as a whole it would be perceived as, not only unacceptable in the current society to be openly against these things and communities, but is even perceived as marketable and profitable to be openly for these things.
When the canary stops singing, something is wrong with the air, and it's time to get out. So when companies stop doing these things, and instead don't mention them, it's a sign that the wind is turning. That posting open support is deemed risky. That at least a certain part of society is questioning the validity and value of these things
And finally, when the canary is dead, the miners are next. When companies start openly posting against these things, when it becomes marketable and profitable to be openly racist, to be openly transphobic, to be openly homophobic, it's a sign that society as a whole and not just the ruling class, is hostile to these ideals and people.
I hate that it is, and I want to change it, but we live in a capitalist society. Right now, it's the rules of the game. So I'm using capitalism as an indicator of society's acceptance of progressive ideals and hostility towards marginalized groups. Because at the end of the day, I would rather fight against capitalism in a capitalist hellhole where corporate people display their pronouns and say "black lives matter" rather than a capitalist hellhole where corporate people don't do these things.
The canary stopped singing.
Happy pride month!!
You're misunderstanding. The agent came out as gay to his homophobic colleagues. He also wants to be fisted and is a hero who certainly didn't intend to offend anyone;) #ComingOut #PrideMonth #LGBTQ We are #strongerTogether: #ALText is #Inclusion. #DontObeyInAdvance but #resist to #saveDemocracy!
You're misunderstanding. The agent wanted to be pleasured anally, even with someone's middle finger. He certainly wasn't trying to insult anyone: #ComingOut;)

2026-01-14Just another reminder who the #LGBTQ+ community can rely as an ally.
#GoFundme profits from the Murder of a member of our community, then celebrate during #PrideMonth to claim how supportive they are...in hope we will have forgotten by then...

@sashag that's how it's done!
I one had someone from a publisher contact me, and I told them that I'd consider working for them once they did #PrideMonth on all their accounts worldwide and actually worked towards fixing their workplace abuse problem.
They really went silent quickly. This was all eMail if I'm correct...

So, again, it's not #PrideMonth , but with the recent discoveries about myself...the realization that, while I'm still #pansexual , I am also very firmly in the #asexual spectrum ... I asked the lovely @minettefraise.bsky.social for an edit to my last pride picture.
And yay! Thank you!
Absolutely nailed it.
And I love that Sammy also has a little asexual button for support of his bearkitty!

True Stories: Gay Memories – Coming Out Of The Closet #LGBTQI #LGBT
One of the biggest regrets of my life is that I never sat down with my mother and told her that I am gay. I chose, instead, the easy option of writing to her and telling her that I was a homosexual.
Facing Mum for the first time after writing that letter, I felt very nervous as I travelled to her home. I hesitated several times before walking up to the front door, ringing the doorbell, and announcing my arrival.
What a shock I got when she came towards me with open arms and, as she gave me one of her wonderful hugs, heard her whisper, “I always knew, I don’t know why it took you so long to tell me.”
Me and mum. Taken sometime in the 1980s, just after I had told her I was gay.Not all my family was like mum, though. Some told me they were having difficulty accepting what I was because it wasn’t the sort of thing that happened to men in the area we came from. Hurtful words, but I already knew that the best thing I could do was to keep away from those who were upset by the life I was given, and let them live their lives as they wanted.
Over the years, I regained contact with some of those family members and, thankfully, have the changing face of society to thank for bringing us back together.
The fact that, in the past, there had been a few other men in the family who had never married never seemed to raise any suspicions that the family included gay people. It may have been discussed, but never while I was in the room.
I don’t know if any of those men ever ‘came out.’ Probably not, but it must have been tough for those who were gay when they lived. This made me more determined to live my life as I wanted and not as others expected me to.
Moving to live and work in London in 1986 was one of the most important decisions I’ve ever made. Although the city acted like a wall that seemed to shield gay people, I was still struggling to ‘come out.’
It was a strange situation because the first two jobs I took in London were in industries where other openly gay people worked.
When I took my next job, which would last 23 years, it took me six years to come out, and that was only when I heard the words “Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?” Of course, nobody cared that I was gay, yet for all those years I had been terrified of what some of my work colleagues would think about me had I ‘come out’ of the closet.
Fast forward to today, and being gay is widely accepted by much of society. Or is it?
When we moved to our current home in South Wales, both my partner and I felt a little hesitant about whether people would accept us. There are fewer residents here than in the area where we had lived for over 30 years. We were returning to that place where I’d been told that ‘being gay didn’t happen.’ We could not have been more wrong!
People have been so welcoming, and we’re as much a part of the community as anyone else. Strange, though, is that every now and again, when I meet somebody for the first time and am asked who the other guy who walks our dogs is, I find myself hesitating before saying, “He’s my partner.”
Maybe some of the scars from our past never heal?
