This way, when the pendulum swings in the other direction and they try to take advantage of us again by showing their support, we can point to the record and show people that it’s not sincere.
We shouldn’t allow them to play both sides of the fence like this.
It wouldn’t be queer owned if it was publicly traded. It would be owned by shareholders.
That’s a load of shit. Being queer owned doesn’t preclude you from capitalism.
I’m sorry, but what exactly is a load of shit about the above statement? Capitalism =/= publicly traded. For a business to be both publicly traded, and queer owned, there would have to be some sort of covenant preventing shares from being sold to non-queer people. I don’t think that would actually be legal?
Capitalism and publicly traded are like 3 sides of the same coin.
Uhm, what? Like, come on, I hate capitalism as much as the next queer person, but you’re just spouting nonsense. Twitter isn’t publicly-traded, does that mean it doesn’t participate in capitalism?
Do you have an actual question there?
Nope, from the first reply I was mainly calling you out for rudely saying something untrue. I think you’re just turning your hatred for capitalism against other queer people, and I think that behaviour sucks.
You’re significantly misunderstanding me, but that’s fine since I won’t support trans people anymore since you think I’m an enemy.
Might as well be the person I’m portrayed as instead of the person who wants trans people to survive as long as possible.
If it was apparently this easy for you to stop supporting trans people, then you never did to begin with. No idea where all this came from though, seems you just have a bee in your bonnet (haha, get it? because we’re on beehaw).
I truly dont understand this comment.
Bad management is still a thing. And I’m not against using the levers of capitalism to force businesses to be queer-accepting and prove that queer-phobic managers are incompetent from their numbers.
This isn’t a replacement for taking down capitalism, but still a tiny victory.
Is it Actually a victory?
Homophobe is out of a job
Maybe this is my bias but I think they find a job easily after the things cooled down.
Are they actually, though?
It’s not 100% bulletproof, but what is?
I’m viewing it like climate change – every little bit counts.
