Pride Month wrapping up, have you seen any company or organisation do anything remotely meaningful? (feddit.de)

So, I will make no secret that I'm rolling my eyes at all of that marketing stuff that goes up every year. But I've been thinking, it doesn't have to be so superficial and pointless. Maybe there's some rare exception out there that took the opportunity to say or do something meaningful.

Did you come across a company or organisation lately that use the occasion to take some stance beyond feelgood buzzwords or implement a policy internally or in their area of operations that is of at least some importance?

Not anything major on my end, but my library does do occasional displays of queer material (among other materials) all year round, which I'm always appreciative of.

Oh! Good point. That's the case for my local libraries too - I took it for granted but I shouldn't have.

Before I worked at a library I took them for granted too. They're such incredible resources for the community and they do so much more than lend books. They do community outreach, activities, events, many have video games and board games, movies, etc. You should check out your local branches sometime! 😊
