As does every other corporation that puts up a rainbow lag the second its pride month. Blackrock, McDonnel Douglas and Exxon are really trying to be on the right side of history here, folks! Ask Disney if they show the same movies in China.

Its all just kowtowing to the power of the Global American Empire legislated by misguided civil rights legislation, enforced by the politcommissars in HR. Every culture has a right to protect its values.

It is all just virtue singling. And in different places virtues are different... Cynical but truthful take. After all on scale these firms operate having someone update their logo with different colour scheme is probably cheaper than being attacked for not doing it.

I would to know more as to why you this civil rights legislation, or presumably court rulings as well, are "misguided"

>Every culture has a right to protect its values.

Cultures that discriminate against people for innate characteristics like sex, sexual orientation, race, etc. are backwards. Label me biased by Western propaganda I suppose, but a person's right to participate fully in a society shouldn't depends on any cultural or societal norms or traditions.

Did you mean to write "shouldn't"?

yes thank you
It’s interesting because our universities have been teaching everyone that there are no universal morals. So our diplomats have no idea how to defend ideals.

What "value" that would be? Oppressing gay people?!

You have the moral high ground in this debate, how's that even fathomable?!
