Who is offended by that flag? I'm more interested in the ever growing "pride" capitalist movement.

Big corp is jumping on the pride wagon to sell to consumers. Interested in the response.

Slap rainbows on whatever the hell you want.......



I work for a multi billion dollar corp and literally 90% of cubicles have the gay flag. They have banners, they raised the rainbow flag next to the US flag outside, they put up collages, various volunteer events. It’s highlighted all over the company website, social media, etc. they even put up a mural in NYC. Not sure who the meme is exactly referring to, because I haven’t seen any opposition.

damn boys i would have thought the parody was all too obvious. it says "Like and Share if you don't give a damn" a clear reference to the conservative facebook groups that are all pseudo-southern-pride patriotism meme generators. like half the shit Ghot posts. the joke is no one is really offended by the Stars and stripes, just like no one is offended by the pride flag.

I don’t hide that I’m a Christian but I can just imagine the foaming at the mouth that would ensue if I spelled out that I don’t support homosexuality lol

Interpretation is always muddy, friend. It's an internet forum after all and none of us read minds...

I realize that. i just thought it was blatant parody. this exchange is plucked from /r/AteTheOnion for me. Obviously it's not Monty Python, but i figured Ghot and only Ghot would bite on the "we're not offended by that flag so the meme is wrong" bit.

See, the mistake here is the "we're not offended" part. I'm not claiming to be "we" and i think anyone offended by either flag (like you) is worthless.

I still am interested in people's thoughts on the massive corporate profits accruing right now. Much more so than the flag conversation.

Are we cool with these big corp's jumping in the pride ring, or are we against it? I haven't heard from CNN yet, so i don't know what to do.

that's a topic that could easily carry a thread. the commercialization of pride month is fucking gross.

you could even do Duffman a favor and tie in trans rights being commercialized. I've heard a lot of 40+ year old gay men talk about that issue, both that gay people today do not have a struggle to galvanize them in the same way that 1980s gays formed an underground counter culture, and that trans acceptance is moving so fast that they feel it cheapens their struggle.

Reminds me of the South Park "LEZBOS" episode. Oh well, people are always looking for another group/sub group to hate. It's in our DNA and millions of people have been killed because of it.

I wouldn't mind a Duffman debate with the individual formally known as Scaly. That would be interesting IMO.
