Credit scores require you to get some kind of debt. This is because it’s not a score of your financial health. It’s a score of how reliably you repay your debt.
Queer folx (at least on the Fediverse) are too smart to fall for it.
Conservatives are dumb enough to get upset.
Public, profit-motivated veneers of support are at least not public displays of homophobia.
A society where 100% of its e.g. banking sector pretends to care about pride month should normalize gay lifestyles more than a society where that sector is openly hostile to them. If someone raises a kid who sees pride flags on every building, even if their parents suck those shallow displays may subconsciously still have a positive effect at the end of the day.
I’d rather have genuine support but the fake crap is at least better than hate?
I 100% agree with you, but I don’t think the alternative is hate (for most corporations, anyway…); I think the actual attitude for most big corps is indifference. They just don’t give a shit about any group other than potential customers.
Very true; I don’t oppose the idea of a Pride Month. I just respond to corporate allyship with the same way the corps regard any marginalized group - indifference.
Good point. Facade alter people perspective far quicker than waiting for systemic change, and once perspective change, systemic change will follow. Better to have acceptance plaster everywhere, even if it’s hollow or propaganda-ish, than hate.
Public, profit-motivated veneers of support are at least not public displays of homophobia.
Have you seen Target’s pride month collection this year? I’d say that it counts as a public display of homophobia, it’s so bad. (Also they aren’t crediting their few artists this year.)
Sometimes you can get therapy covered through health insurance. It’s worth checking, because therapy can be really helpful, even just for having someone to share stresses with. I hope you’re able to find someone!
