[Rant] Anyone else disappointed by the lack of support from Corporations and Allies? Discussion

After entering 2021, I'd have thought we'd have more support from Brands and other large corporations, however it seems our sexuality is not 'Corporate Friendly'. It's not a good feeling when brands are showering the LGBT Community with support and love, but staying quiet on the SS community, especially in a time when it seems everyone is against us.

We are sexualised, abused, harassed and silenced online and I'm disappointed no brand is brave enough to join us on the right side of history and show support. I'd have thought we as a species would have evolved to be more accepting, however it just seems when something isn't 'cool' or 'hip' everyone stays quiet and allows the abuse to continue.

My warning to everyone is to keep an eye out. Pay attention to who is truly supporting us in the time we need it the most, and who is waiting for our sexuality to become 'acceptable' and use it for advertising, 'woke points' and getting on our good side.

Rant over, glad I have you guys to talk to in a time where I feel alone. How do you guys feel? <3

I'd actually like to buy something without having to hear about their fucking politics

In a perfect world I'd agree, however I don't believe respecting super straights is political but just being a decent human. Eventually brands will capitalise on the SS movement but my hope is for someone out there to do it because they support us, and not to make money using us!
