Corporate Pride: Pinkwashing

This week, Gaby covers the ways LGBTQ Pride has become corporate and about money and marketing more so than about the original riot at its core. LGBTQ historian Dr. Eric Cervini joins the podcast to discuss how the gay community became good for business, the conflicts between queer liberation and queer acceptance, and how history must play a part in any group, company or organization's Pride outreach. Then, Gaby and the co-hosts of the Dyking Out podcast comedians Carolyn Bergier & Melody Kamali chat about the weirdest Pride collaborations, why parents are obsessed with getting their kids fast fashion rainbow merch, and the doublethink that goes into working with companies to promote gay products or put on gay events. Cops at Pride! Rainbow MAGA hats! What a world!
