Picture shows a pride parade. A group of people are carrying a banner that says "LOCKHEED MARTIN" over a rainbow graphic.
I'd say that it's better to frame it as; lockheed supports lgbtq+ but lgbtq+ does not support lockheed as long as lockheeds business-model is based on killing people.
I'd say that it's better to frame it as; lockheed does not support lgbtq+ but does support free publicity.
I know it's difficult but you don't speak for everyone that isn't straight, you don't get to decide what the whole group thinks.
Having sex with people of the same gender is not a political position, sexuality does not determine political and moral views. Plenty of gay people have political and moral perspectives which differ from your own and they are still valid in their sexuality.
Pride should be for everyone who wants to celebrate LGBT, it's not a political party. Yes that means people you don't agree with politically get to celebrate too.
Right wing queer people aren't invalid in their identity, they're just shunned for aiding people who will oppress all of us. Blaire White is a valid woman, but she's not welcome at pride because she works to make our lives worse for short term gain. Bernie Sanders is cishet, but he's welcome at pride for being a long time ally of queer rights.
Pride isn't for queer people by virtue of their identity; it's for all people that fight for our right to proudly exist.
"supporting the military conglomerates is just a matter of ideology, don't criticise it pls!" Fuck that lukewarm shit, every exec at Lockheed Martin should be tossed in jail
