    I not sure if there’s that cause and effect. It’s probably more something in the lines of:

    “How can we turn around this failing business? I know! Let’s openly support LGBTQ! That will make people return to buy our product. Oh no! People didn’t care.”

      Those businesses weren’t failing. The decline in sales is perfectly timed with right wing outrage. 30-40% of this country is now triggered by rainbows.

          Sorry. Sales wasn’t the right term.

          Their stocks have dropped by an average of 20% when others have done the reverse.

          Corporations like to see their stocks go up not down. FYI.
