   @sarahdalgulls “Modeste did not say which sponsors had dropped out, as the event – which attracts more than 3 million attendees – may want to work with them in the future.”

   👆 And this, right here, is the problem. This is what tells them it’s actually perfectly fine what they’re doing. They’ll be welcomed back to pinkwash their image if the political winds blow differently in the future and, for the moment, we totally understand your capitulating to fascism. Hey, it’s just business, after all, amirite?

     Pride Toronto loses corporate funding as Trump’s DEI purge has chilling effect

     The pinkwashing is being hosed off (we all expected this - of course corporations would never actually have our back).

     Expect more of this, yes in the UK, including losing workplace protections - join a union if you can!
