Let's face it... America raped the soul of the pride movement. It's marketing, it's pop. It is manipulation. You wanna rep the pride movement? Buy guns and risk your life (don't do this.... Not advocating that). Anything else is marketing. Let's be real here,
American life is bullshit and that includes sesame Street.

If we’re going to be bombarded by advertising, I’d rather the message at least be healthier and inclusive.

in reply to peteyestee • • •Ok…but realistically, do you think marketing is going anywhere anytime soon? If it’s here, I would rather it be healthier and inclusive.
The debate isn’t “rainbow washing versus no ads.”
