Welcome to the month where corporations clunkily acknowledge queer people exist! Rainbow graphics. Confusing messaging. Pride merch that’s just a shirt with a badly printed rainbow. Rainbow logos. Inspirational music set against a rainbow gradient. One solitary gay employee with the rainbow flag draped over their shoulders.
