  1. If every CEO knew their own beliefs with such clarity that they would make all business decisions based on them, regardless of loss in profits, I believe the world would be a better place.
  2. Companies and Corporations that sponsor PRIDE and/or host programs to be supportive of marginalized communities profit off of these programs and then often donate or invest in politicians, programs, and the like that lead to more profits.
  3. I love waffle fries. Period.
  4. If we treated everyone like I love waffle fries, imagine what would happen. I could deeply disagree with one’s politics or financial investments, honor the congruency of business decisions with one’s morality, and find something that is truly unique and enjoyable.

I understand that everyone has a perspective. I’m simply supportive of companies that support PRIDE efforts and social minority communities. I’m definitely also supportive of companies that make some profit off of that support because it means they will continue to be able to support those communities. I’m ok with them making contributions to politicians, etc as you mentioned because hopefully they will choose to support politicians that share my view that all human beings should be treated equally. I love waffle fries too, but not enough to prioritize them over equal rights.

Agree Jess! Everyone doesn’t have to love waffle fries, we just need to respect their commitment and love for them.
