Photos: Big brands are pulling out of Pride. Here’s how their involvement has changed over the years
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LInkedIn


If you’ve noticed fewer rainbow logos decorating social media this month than in Junes past, you’re not imagining it: some corporations have rolled back their public support of Pride following President Donald Trump’s executive order to end diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs within the government.

A Gravity Research poll of corporate executives reveals 39% of companies plan to decrease their engagement with Pride-related engagements, including leaders in the Fortune 500 and Global 1000. And Pride festivals are feeling the impact.

NYC Pride is facing a deficit of $750,000, roughly 25% of the event’s overall budget, according to Heritage of Pride, the nonprofit that runs the city’s Pride festivities. As a result, NYC Pride will have fewer floats, vendors, and performers, the organization said, and will not be able to provide its usual level of year-round programming and financial support to LGBTQIA+ nonprofits.

In recent years, it has become expected to see brand names spattered throughout Pride-related festivities: event stages boast corporate names, storefronts on parade routes are adorned with rainbows and employee resource groups — oftentimes but not always financially supported by their business — march with branded t-shirts behind corporate banners.

Critics have accused many of these companies of engaging in rainbow capitalism, or using Pride Month as a marketing strategy rather than actually supporting LGBTQ issues and causes, and have said that Pride has become more of a party than a protest.

When did Pride Month become so corporate? Businesses began using Pride as a marketing technique as early as the 1990s, but logos began multiplying at Pride festivals in the 2010s. Once the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have the fundamental right to marry, corporate involvement in Pride reached an all-time high. Take a look back through the decades to see how brands have become a ubiquitous part of Pride Month.

Though Pride started as a protest during the 1969 Stonewall uprising, in the 1990s, corporations began participating in and sponsoring the annual celebrations.

People from the Disney Company march in the 48th annual LA Pride Parade on June 10, 2018, in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles and West Hollywood, California. Since the early 2010s, many companies have allowed employee resource groups to march in Pride parades under their company’s name.
