Right! This isn’t a pie. We can celebrate pride, or women, or any number of other demographics without diminishing people that don’t identify with those groups.

Don’t get me wrong, I think the support is good for society as a whole. I just don’t think that these companies would take a big risk in support of pride month.

Many people don’t realize that have eaten horse…
Not that people don’t eat horse intentionally, but every decade or so there’s some scandal about horse meat mixed in with the ground beef.
And this is why I think of horses every time I hear Salisbury steak. … my brother once had an extreme anaphylactic episode after eating SalisburySteak at a restaurant. We always assumed it was some preservative in the sauce. About a decade later, he has a similar reaction to some kinda “beef” sandwich. They test him for allergies. He’s allergic to horses and dust mites. And it was right about that time that the horse meat in the meatballs scandal broke…

That was so thorough! You’ve made me smile.

That was my exact thought!

I think it happens very frequently where you see that people in dire need do not know how to access available resources. Sometimes they don’t have the mental capacity; sometimes they don’t realize there’s help, sometimes they don’t know where to start.
There is a lot missing from this story, but it’s still tragic and entirely too common.
