This is exactly why I call corporate DEI fucking worthless. It's pinkwashing with nothing substantive behind it. We see all the rainbows during pride month, while at the same time companies disregard all protected classes (and unprotected classes) quite equally in the layoffs and unethical worker treatment. Cis, trans, gay, straight, queer, furry, binary or non binary, old, and young are all equally getting fucked.
Worker's rights protect us all. We're in class warfare. People get too distracted by social politics and forget who the real enemy is: the rich.
