That's right! Standing up for the minority, even in a company, is a very brave act. Another issue is that they are only brave where it does not harm the business.
The month of St. Pride is coming (and then the year will surely come, if European people don't come to their senses by then), and as always, quite a few large companies and multi-corporations feel obliged to paint their logos rainbow. It is understandable, since they believe that sensitivity to aberration is working better and better and that such small gestures can bring more and more money to their coffers. Of course, the people involved would reject this accusation and, with a figurative thumping of their chests, would mantra that they really stand by the gender minorities with the maneuver.
But there is something wrong here.
X-follower Libs of TikTok posted a montage of the corporate logos of BMW, Cisco, Lenovo and Bethesda all decked out in rainbow colors — and juxtaposed it with the logos of those same companies' X accounts in the Middle East, where they weren't rainbow-colored by any chance. . Because they really don't like gender deviance there, i.e. the rainbow "standing" would only push customers away from them.
Well, isn't it strange? Yet does juice determine consciousness?
The LGBTQ circus continues in Munich as well
According to the signs, Munich's years-long tradition of lighting up the Allianz Arena in rainbow colors in the month of June, in solidarity with LGBTQ issues, is continuing. UEFA does not support mixing identity politics with sports either.
Although the international organization has voiced its displeasure in the past, according to the signs, this does not deter the Munich city administration, Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote.
According to the plans, the Allianz Aréna will be illuminated in rainbow colors on June 22 and 23 in honor of the Munich Pride events. Although the stadium will host six matches during the European Championship, there will be no matches in Munich on the mentioned days. The Pride events will take place between June 20 and 25 in the German city. The light show at the Allianz Aréna is reminiscent of the previous year's scandal, when UEFA refused to illuminate the stadium with rainbow lights for the match between Germany and Hungary. The mayor of Munich sharply criticized UEFA's decision at the time, and the body tried to downplay the scandal with explanations.
The Hungarian national team again faced a German opponent at this year's European Championship. The meeting between the two teams will take place on June 19 in Stuttgart.
