June began, but usually rainbow logotypes of known brands stay in standard colors during this period. Collections of gadgets signed with the most recognizable symbol of LGBTQ+ community do not break in stitches, and organizers of subsequent equal parades complain of a sharp decline in corporate support.
As a result, for example, the fresh York City Pride, the main organizer of the equality parade in this city, is measured, as the Associated Press estimates, with losses of $750,000 compared to the amounts from the large business players he could number on in erstwhile years. Gravity investigation asked 200 directors of large companies whether they would engage in equal public activities – as many as 39 percent of them say they would surely limit them.
Post-dude of America
Not without reason, the interest in coining diversity falls primarily in the US, where not only queer direct marketing, but besides philanthropy becomes silent or at all – as if the period of Duma did not come.
Even different approaches are made at the White House, which, with a huddle, began to "celebrate" the period commemorating the revolt in Stonewall in 1969, refusing his proclamation, and then through the Department of Education, renamed him Title IX Month, the expected celebration of a provision to counter sex discrimination in education.
Under Joe Biden's rule, this right was extended to equalize opportunities for individuals of any sex identity. The fresh administration wants protection only for cisporal women and men, pushing the communicative that affirmation of transgenderness and inbinarity is simply a threat to feminism.
Shortly after the Trump administration's decision, defence Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a renaming order for 1 of the Navy's ships, named after Harvey Milk, the murdered gay and lesbian rights activist.
The FBI, in turn, called on American citizens to study clinics, hospitals, doctors and organizations supporting medical transit, and to treat sexual dysphoria in children and adolescents. Transgender persons, after losing the anticipation of marking papers according to their sex identity, will shortly besides be deprived of the right to service in the US Army.
On the another hand, the National Park Service announced that during the last weekend of celebrations it would close historically crucial for the LGBTQ+ community of Washington Dupont Circle, fearing "inhuman and destructive behaviour".
In this respect, LGBTQ+ does not fall from the list of current priorities of the US authorities, which, from the beginning of Trump's presidency, double and triple so that the media and society proceed to talk negatively about queers. All this to reconstruct the "cult of a warrior", a man whose levitation and sex have softened, and to destruct anything that, however, eliminates social inequality.
Ideological decoupling doesn't should be bad news
The conflict of conservatism, which spreads through successive programs, politics, books and all that is associated with the rainbow, is the flagship point of this cult, followed by concrete and proving the fleetingness of the romance of capitalism with the ideas of business decisions.
This is simply a geopolitical climate and cold calculations, not progressive ambitions direct the corporeal. Do not be fooled that entrepreneurship for Trump suffers, having to hide its beautiful values from the government of the antiqueer alpha lards ruling in Washington.
Capitalism extends its hands after excluded minorities only if it can do so de facto apolitically, profitably and as part of a joyful event, not as problematic as human rights.
It has been comparatively easy to confuse rainbow trade with activism so far, especially erstwhile the LGBTQ+ community itself uncritically and naively invited anyone who wanted to spend a penny on their platform. This is not a ploy, but a sober assessment of errors that can be avoided in the future, fortunately, because, contrary to appearances, the desertion of capitalism from parade platforms is not the worst news for the fight for equality.
Financial shots at the feet of LGBTQ+ rights organizations are painful, of course, but it is worth considering how much money loaded into the visibility of the period of Pride and collections of rainbow creams, shoes and ATM cards has translated into real benefits for the excluded part of society.
Do we truly want parades to be sponsored by people who, in June, throw scraps at elected queers to sponsor politicians fighting against sex or Russia or Israel, killing Palestinian and Ukrainian gays or lesbians?
And is organizing in a strategy that thrives on the exploitation of the weakest and the planet something that should be active in demanding change and anti-systemic queer community? Both behind the ocean and in any another place in the western world, the period of Duma became a devoid of political manifestos of the Devil's pact with companies who tried to cover their force and another uncomfortable subjects. As a result, sexual workers, propalestine activists, transgenders or those with disabilities were unwelcome in the marches – due to the fact that capitalism likes good bodies in the canon.
If intersecrationism is not the backbone of the fight for Human rights, this queer community will share the destiny of feminism, which is taught on its ultraliberal, commercialized pop-version. In a law-abiding world, we do not request donations in the form of rainbow washing, but real rights, solidarity and specified gifts as we received unexpectedly this year, that is, the interior disputed right. 'Cause I don't know about you guys, but I'm tracking public dramas Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who fight like teenagers in Mean Girls Or a couple in a stormy relationship, having at least as much fun as on an equality parade.
