Thursday kicked off Pride Month activities across the country. But rising anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment is complicating the celebrations this year.
Nearly 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced in state legislatures this year alone. And corporate allyship seems to be waning, as the social backlash from members of the right-wing puts pressure on companies.
We talk to Tuck Woodstock, journalist, educator and host of the "Gender Reveal" podcast, to gather his thoughts on how people from the community are responding.

I disagree with the statement, "as the social backlash from members of the right-wing puts pressure on companies". Bud Light's parent Anheuser-Busch’s stock has lost $27B over Dylan Mulvaney and its NOT because of "right-wing pressure", but because their customer base said screw'm.

That was a piss poor business decision basing future customer base against an established customer base now. It backfired. No social pressure, just a screwed up business decision.

I like the poster.
Many other corporations have folded to the "woke" mentality and run the risk of pushback and boycotts.
Elements of the LGBTQ+ have vowed to attack Christianity and eliminate it.
Parents need to protect their children from the BS coming out of this.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Among the mainstream protestant denominations that is true. However take the Episcopal Church as one example. Today it is 1/3 of the size that it was in 1960. It embraced the Anti-War movement of the 60's & 70's. Many of its own seminaries are still repositories of Liberation Theology. While many of the congregants are still at least nominally Christian, the majority of the clergy are not.

The right has been taking credit for normal market moves and consumer spending behaviors as a result of their so called boycotts.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - They weren't like some are today in their attitudes.
