The Cost of Allyship: Why This Pride Feels Different

Description

We’re officially in the middle of Pride Month 2023, and things have been feeling different. This week, our hosts take a moment to discuss how even our biggest corporate allies have kept their logos rainbow-free this June. Have corporations decided the cost of allyship is too much when employees are being threatened just for existing in a store with Pride collections? We end the episode with a call to action - be more mindful to not give straight businesses your gay dollars for Pride merchandise (or ideally, year-round). We highlight exactly how to be more intentional with your purchases this month, how businesses can take the extra step to show their allyship to the community, and the importance of donating to your local LGBTQIA+ nonprofits. We also have shared a carousel on our Instagram account (@targetsnarket) of queer creators to consider purchasing from this month - just to make it a little easier for you! 


Additionally, we have a moment of trans joy for Third Co-host’s *niptuals*, we request a list of references (and recommendations *wink*), Danielle flexes her LinkedIn follower count, and Kaleigh begins her Anti-Sport campaign.
