Boycotting Gillette over this nonsense will have limited value, but I still do it. Gillette is not doing this to expand their customer base or solidify their existing customer base - like many large corporations these days, Gillette's current management is more concerned with shaping public perceptions on social issues and normalizing things like transgenderism than with their core business.

So many facets of our society have been handed over to the Left without a fight, or even a recognition that there has been a takeover, starting with the public school system. Hollywood and mainstream news were taken over by the Left long ago, and now it is the turn of corporate America.

Absolutely true. Here locally we have two major corporations that have gone total LBGTQ. Cummins Engine and Lilly Pharmaceutical. Neither has any reason to support the LBGTQ agenda. In fact an argument could be made that their support could be detrimental to their business model, but both do so in spades even to the point of bad mouthing and talking down the State during the REFRA debacle a couple of years ago. They give huge amounts of money to the local Freedom Indiana LBGTQ advocacy group and almost single handedly finance our local ‘Pride’ festival.

I worked for Lilly’s for a while back in the 70’s, my dad worked at Cummins for years, and I can tell you that the majority of their employees and much of their customer base are not supportive of these groups. But they tell you that in order to hire the best and brightest they must be inclusive and diverse. Of course that diverse inclusiveness only goes one way. We just need to accept that the LGBTQs have won. They may eventually destroy themselves over internal conflicts, you’re already seeing some of that between trans and lezzies starting, but we will have no say in it.
