Pride Month begins tomorrow. Considering Target and Bud Light, how do you think the nation will respond this year?

Companies don't care about people, it's all about making the most money for them. Depending on the location of the company and learning how to pander to whatever demographic in that location is likely to gain money or lose it is all that concerns that directors of those companies. After all you aren't going to sell many strap-ons in Afghanistan, however in San Fransico it might be a different matter.
If you are a company that sells gay stuff - you make your money from the gays.
If you are a company that sells Bibles - you will just piss off your userbase if you try to push the gay agenda to that userbase.
A company that sells beer should have though about the userbase before trying to push a gay agenda, the same with a company such as Target, as they are finding out now that the users don't want the agenda pushed onto them.
On the other hand a company that deals in selling size 10 womens shoes - probably want to pander to transvestites as these people have bigger feet than an average woman.
Basically these companies need to know who their customer base is and don't try to piss off the people that spend money on their products.

And I bet the place where you buy those shoes from have a lot of gay types as part of their customer base. I can see how they would make money from advertising their products during gay pride month, after all there's not a lot of women with that size of feet - most women are about size 4 to size 6. They certainly wouldn't want to piss of that customer base as you would just shop from elsewhere if they did.LoL, I wear a size 11 in womens shoes [/high heels], when I rarely dress up.
The thing with beer is that there are lots of other beers and places to buy it from so when you piss of the userbase they end up just switching brands that won't try to push an agenda onto them, these people just don't want to hear the gay message as they have their owns views on what's acceptable and what's not. Trying to force a viewpoint onto those that will never think in the same way is pointless. It's the same as when an unstoppable force impacts an immovable object, the ending is never going to be happy.

Let's see....... I go to any store I wish, pick out the ones that appeal to me. check out and go home to wear them when I wish.
So no.
No to what? If you go to a shop and they sell the item you wish to buy in your size and you have the money to buy it - you buy it.
If the person selling the item starts trying to disrespect you or your views - you walk away and buy from elsewhere. This is human nature. If you as a customer really need an item and you can't get it from anywhere else, you are going to get it from the seller that supplies it, even if you don't like them. However if you have a choice of sellers you will get the item from a seller that is not annoying you and is just selling the item without trying to push their views onto you.

Morgan Freeman said it best, that "your going to relegate my history to a month?" while talking about Black History month during an interview. These so called "months of representation" aren't the answer for anyone, except for those that want to feel catered to.
History is supposed to be something remembered and improved upon in the future, as you learn from the mistakes of the past. And yet much like every ancient society, we will most likely go down the same path, from corruption and over legislation.

This is a GREAT point.
All of American history is ALL American history. You can't parcel out which part of it is part of your national history, if you are an American. What happened to black people, the Irish and the Natives are some of the worst atrocities in human history, but it is ALL of our shared history. Same thing when it comes to women, and the LGBT community and their struggles for truly equal rights.
We are a kaleidoscope of different backgrounds and cultures, and all of it contributes to the whole. There is no "black history". There is no "LGBT history". There is AMERICAN history, and we will be much better off as a people when we stop dividing ourselves into groups that exclude others.
One big tapestry. Millions of little threads. Still part of the same big picture.
Turns out I was variously incorrect and correct. It was treated as a greeting card holiday and like most of those it is a basically one day affair rather than the month long effort some attempt/"tradition" went in for, if it was "celebrated" at all, something I did not see coming at all (just like ur mum). Speculation as to why is ongoing but I shall advance my general opinion further that marketing wonks are truly clueless and useless people.

and what was happening in Germany
Do want a set of lockheed martin (better part of 40 billion USD per year or thereabouts for government/defence contracts) pride socks for the wall of crazy things though.

Not gonna lie, those socks just remind me of fun facts like how General Electric also worked on the A-10's gun, interesting stuff.
Not gonna lie, if I was walking down the street and I saw a dude wearing those, I'd instantly think, "what a prick, avoid eye contact in case he tries to speak to me, ignore the twat if he speaks to me, I bet he's a labour party voter".
On the other hand if I saw a fat chick with blue hair and a pair of those on, I'd just think, "bloody weirdo, I bet she votes for Labour or the greens and I bet she licks the minge".

Imagine having global corporate sponsorship, the support of Hollywood, academia, the music industry, sports organizations, many state and city governments, the federal government, many foreign governments, NGO's, non-profits, corporate media and social media, and still claim to be discriminated against. The alphabet people even have their own foot soldiers in antifa, which is majority TQIP's.
The decedents of slaves don't even get 1/4 the attention the alphabet people get.
The interesting story now is, what do the alphabet people do when they piss off 1.5 - 2.0 billion Muslims? I'm already seeing cries of discrimination, which sounds a lot like Islamaphobia of the past 25 years. I think the rest of us will just sit this one out and watch what happens. Good luck to all the competitors.

You are sort of, kind of correct. These corporations are being made to care by the Human Rights Council in coordination with Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street. These three companies manage the majority of the available stocks of almost all publicly traded corporations which allows them to put pressure on companies to support certain causes. It's kind of like a social credit system for corporations. This support is not genuine, but it makes the alphabet people feel good because they don't care if people are being coerced to affirm their identities.
The most enlightening part of all of this is that we are told that people who do not support Pride are a vast minority, yet Bud Light and Target are losing billions of dollars because of a boycott by this "minority". Yet boycotts by the "majority" like what we saw with Chik-Fil-A and Goya a few years ago went unnoticed by those companies. Who is really the majority in the U.S? Is the corporate media gaslighting us into believing things that just aren't true?

It's a marketing tactic, of course companies are gonna do whatever they think will make them money. Maybe they mean it, maybe they don't. Companies being genuine with their advertising is always going to be in doubt, whether it's Pride-related or a band of dancing ants on my screen saying their health insurance is good. What's the big deal here, how come there aren't boycotts over other potentially dubious advertising?
Oh, right, because gay.
Oh, right, because gay.
I thought the same when people of color were taken off of butter, syrup and rice by the fascist left. Yet, here we are.
Of course you'd be ignorant of what racist caricatures are and the history of the use aunt and uncle during the slavery days.
Because I really doubt you finished high school
