When being from the lgbtq community means that you are persecuted, punished and your life is threatened, doesn’t it mean it is political? why do you say it is not political? Or is that about fighting for survival? Is fighting for survival political? Does it even matter? You don’t specify it in your comment, are you supporting the other comments that because it is political companies should stay away from it?
When laws and states and governments try to push too far to limit things such as gender identities the lives of many become political as they are threatened by the laws, states, and governments. And yet, the rights and survival of people in peace is not truly political. That’s just the excuse used to try and censor the discussion of such topics.

Pride movement is as political as Christmas is political. There will be people that make it a political issue, but that doesn’t mean it is actually political. A company that celebrates a holiday that big part of the population celebrate is not siding with a political party or even with a religion. The rights for any minorities in a government or a state is political, but pride is a celebration and as such it is not political. A state making a religion official and forced/encouraged is political. Celebrating Christmas is not political. And celebrating Christmas as a company doesn’t mean they alienate customers or employees that don’t actually follow the religious side of the holiday.
Don’t get sucked into the idea that a company cannot show support for minorities or make events depending on the celebrations socially occurring because you need to be neutral. That’s not neutrality, that’s self censorship.
To take it to the extremes, are we expecting companies to say they are not against slavery but also not in favor, because it is political? Child labour is bad, but I don’t want to support any side because it is too political. Terrorism attacks? Well we don’t have a stance against or for them, it’s just too political.
There’s a big difference between siding with one party or another and not showing a stance into what should be universal human rights. Are universal human rights political? Well kinda, but we shouldn’t support, or allow any company that is afraid of supporting human rights because it might alienate some customers… Pride and lgbtq rights might not be on the same level as slavery, terrorism and child labor but hell who someone spends their life with is a human right and has nothing to do with politics.

You can turn invisible but only parts that are alive, in essence, cells. Your nails, your hair, the food you’ve eaten, pee… All can be seen though.

Me too, the problem is how many have to suffer him until that happens. And I dont mean just having to read his every damn comment.

Really? Ah wow, never thought it would be that hard… That’s sarcasm by the way, since we are stating the obvious. Also you forgot to mention, one does nothing against FElon and the other ends FElon.
I anyway hate the idea of inciting violence (but sometimes you just need to get it out) and can’t really wrap my head at how many people are in comments in Lemmy out for blood (well, I kind of understand, the situation is bleak to say the least, the issue is how many think violence is a good solution for real, there’s a discussion for violent revolution, but violence alone is useless, but I digress), I’d rather he rots in a cell somewhere and all his money is taken away to do something useful with, he’d probably hate that much more than anything else. Same with Amazon Dickzos… Well that’s lame, couldn’t come up with a good name for him yet. Bezos anyway.
But anyway, if the first lady trump is still free and worse, in a position of power in the government, after all he has done (literal treason, rape, …), I’m not holding my breath for the nazi asshole to get to prison.

Why so many people are cheerfully cheering for burning teslas owned by random people when it seems it would be easier to burn this fucking nazi asshole? Just get rid of the source of the problem…
