It's a lose lose situation now. Put up a bunch of pride stuff and potentially turn off normies. Or remove it and piss off the terminally online.

Who is more likely to shop at your store?

They brought this shit on themselves by embracing the craziest cunts instead of sticking with the ones everyone learned to like because they were funny/talented/charming/etc.

No one’s objecting to Ian McKellan or Rupert Everett, Ricky Martin or Neil Patrick Harris, etc…. But they went with Dylan Mulvaney and the rest of the horrorshow family.

Subtle difference in tone between not hiding who you are, which I agree gay people shouldn't have to hide their SO from public life for fear of being fired. Trans people shouldn't be fired solely based on being trans etc, in most cases, and the new "celebrate queerness" mantra. I don't really want to celebrate a man dressing up in a pink thong and wig singing about taking it in the ass while gyrating, anymore than I'd want to celebrate a woman doing the same thing.

Like can't people just act professionally? Of course not. Drag queen doing nothing but riding the tube to go from point A to point B getting heckled. Shouldn't happen. Drag queen trying to do a performance on the tube to a captive audience, time to kick em off.
