AT&T, UPS, and Comcast: Stop supporting anti-LGBT+ politicia
Campaign content
More and more corporations are adorning themselves with Pride colors to show support for the LGBT+ movement during Pride season.
Research from Progressive Shopper identified nine rainbow flag-waving U.S. corporations that gave $1 million or more to anti-LGBT+ politicians in the last election cycle, with AT&T, UPS, and Comcast giving the most.
Waving rainbow flags while supporting some of the biggest enemies of LGBT+ rights is an insidious form of "pinkwashing" - when LGBT+ rights are used simply for financial gain.
Ask these companies to stop supporting anti-LGBT+ politicians and prove that they REALLY believe in equality!
Your companies make an effort to show support to the LGBT+ movement.
But you also donate millions of dollars to members of Congress who received the worst score on HRC's Congressional Scorecard - and who have a long track record of anti-LGBT+ positions.
We urge you to show your true commitment as allies to the LGBT+ movement and to cease your financial support for politicians who try to harm the lives of LGBT+ Americans.
