As a gay teenager, this Twitter meme is partnering with queer-pandering corporations
Happy Pride Month!
Every June, we're met with more and more absurd attempts by corporate America to prove their dedication to equality. It seems like businesses will do just about anything — with the exception of putting in place actual practices that will help the LGBTQ community — to try to convince customers that they really care. And a new trend on Twitter is using the same format those corporations use to make some... pretty funny memes.
They fall along the lines of the indisputably funny Meg Stalter, who beautifully encapsulates the effect businesses have on the rest of us when they pander to queer people once a year.
