HAPPY PRIDE!!!
Featuring fanart from @foxflightstudios Orientation & Gender Armory series. It’s not a commission, I just liked the designs that much haha
Gonna be dead honest. Does it matter? They’re showing support. I’ve long held the believe that doing the right thing for selfish reasons is still doing the right thing.
The fact that they belive it’s profitable means that society has changed. I think that’s something.
Just want to add that Kellogg’s and Orea jumping on the bandwagon is actually super helpful to young closeted LGBT+ kids who don’t really have a lot of support, and then they pick up their favorite cereal or snack and see something like this? That’s amazing! And it’s helping cis/straight kids see that being LGBT+ isn’t something that should be shamed, it should be celebrated and accepted, and I think endorsements like this, especially for products commonly consumed by children, are helping shape our younger generations to be the most accepting and open-minded ones yet!
Ah, time for my one Pride joke: I was talking to a conservative the other day and they asked me “How come Pride has to be in the summer? It should be in September when the kids are back in school and don’t have to see it” but I pointed out it’s right there in the bible, Pride cometh before the Fall
The joke is that I would ever talk to a fucking conservative
Rainbow capitalism is a cheap marketing tactic and Oreos posted an ace pride graphic but since corporate acknowledgement of asexuality is still so new I’m taken back by it every time
And honestly probably will buy some and through the following week when I hear yet another story about how fascists are in power in America I’ll have a cookie and think about how little, pointless things give hope.
wait, wHAT?!
They aren’t donating to charity so it’s not like I’m gonna rush out and buy some but still it feels nice to be seen in places I’d never suspect.
Having separate flags is good bcos it’s good to have a symbol for your particular identity to embrace but it also important to remember the rainbow flag unites us all. All LGBT+ people can use it. I feel like it’s somehow become assumed by a lot of younger lgbt+ people that it’s only fr gay men, which it isn’t and never has been
