Amazon has joined the slew of companies rolling back its DEI efforts in apparent celebration of Donald Trump’s “anti-woke” agenda. The changes specifically target LGBTQ+ people, with the section on LGBTQ+ rights being completely removed from its Positions page.

I suspect we might miss rainbow capitalism one day.

I won't. I regret the few corporate-backed queer purchases I ever made. Companies were always willing to do this, but we let them drain our wallets in the meantime. I'm never licking another rainbow-colored boot again.

They'll do both these things at the same time, too. Disney was actively marketing itself as pro-gay while donating to everyone pushing the Parental Rights in Education Act, aka the Don't Say Gay bill. We were always funding our oppression.
