Business of Pride: In the face of anti-transgender legislation, are corporations no longer so loud and proud?

From advancing same-sex marriage to blocking “bathroom bills” to opposing attempts to legalize discrimination, corporate America has been among the most consistent and vocal supporters of LGBTQ equality over the last several years.

But now, as an unprecedented wave of legislation targeting transgender people blankets much of the country, many of the same companies that engaged vigorously in earlier battles are taking a quieter and more restrained approach.

Ask a transgender advocate which corporations or business executives are prominently standing against the legislative barrage, and the most frequent response is: No one.

That’s a difference that’s been noted by many outside the corporate community who have seen it mobilize and lead in previous fights to roll back LGBTQ rights.

I think there are a lot of gays that don’t agree with this transgender stuff and the T’s hitching their wagon to the train. Most people don’t care what the gays do in their bedroom but they do care when there is a group of evil people coming for their children. Grooming IS a thing that parents have to fight against or they could lose their kids. Look at California. They are talking of passing a law to take kids from their parents over this trans horror. I think every kid should be shown pictures of the immediate aftermath of these genital mutilations before they agree to surgery. It is awful what they are doing to these kids!

Same here. I won’t ever forget and my wallet will remain closed as well.

Could someone please explain something to me...

This pride business...

I’m tall. Very tall for a chick.

Am I proud of that?

No. Because I had nothing to do with it.

If gender, like sex, isn’t a choice, if it’s something ingrained, genetically encoded, why take pride in something you had nothing to do with? That was a spin of the biological roulette wheel.

If it is a choice, however, well, that opens up a can of worms, doesn’t it...

Praying for revival in America and around the world.

Prayer For Heart Revival

Heavenly Father, pour out Your Holy Spirit like a mighty flood into the hearts of all Your people, those who are called by Your name. May our hearts be washed by the water of the Word and may the purifying light of the Holy Spirit cleanse the thoughts, wash the hearts and purify the minds of those who are part of the church, which is Your Body.

Lord, we pray that You would purify the hearts and minds of all Your people so that our thoughts are ever turned toward the Lord Jesus. May we as individual members and also as a body of believers, learn to seek Your will in our lives, so that our prayers are filtered through the light of Your will, so that they are tuned into Your perfect plans and purposes. May the desire of all believers be to lift up Your name so that You are honoured in the fellowships and local churches in His rightful position as Head, and may the Lord Jesus remain the central focus of the intent of our hearts

Lord, we pray that You would revive the hearts of all believers and especially those who have left their first love, become involved in a distorted gospel, fallen into legalism or become lukewarm toward You. Draw each one back into a right relationship with You and with each other. Revive Your people we pray, and turn the hearts of all Your people back to Yourself. In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
