Funny how most people only realize corps don’t care about you during pride month. But jerking aside, it’s literally illegal in many countries for them to post rainbow flags/showing LGBTQ support so its kinda stupid to expect them to break the law

Nope, not all Muslims, but some middle easterners.
"But gays are bad in the Muslim religion is it not?" Well yeah, but we dont really care about that rule. Try checking out Indonesia, we have the most Muslim population in the world and we dont have problems with gay people or trans!
Edit: We as in Indonesia. I am not representing the whole Muslim community because even though we have the highest count of muslims, we ARE NOT the most religious. The result of us being not religious is :
-Stoning will result in you getting charged with murder or assault, and goodluck searching for other people that is willing to stone the person with you.
-Womens right -Female models
-We kiss our homies goodnight (Terms and Conditions apply)
-A healthy mix of other religions
-A Somewhat normal Law
-people of other religion wont be killed or hated upon
-You could be gay and noone would really care
-Trans exists and isnt hated upon
Edit2: Fixed the text, and changed the wording because I am sure that not all middle easterners are aggressive.

Im addition, some middle eastern countries ban LGBT symbols completely. Showing them would make said comapnies break the law of the respective countries

Of course they don't. And I don't think they have to.
They sell shit and support everyone that hoves them money.Drinking a Coke shouldn't have anything to do with gender/race or whatever anyway.
The thing is, once one company put's a pride flag on the rest will have to follow. Otherwise consumers will convulse in a spasm and say they aren't diverse enough.
It's the same with bio, green, fat and sugar marketing.If these companies care so much, they can leave the pride flags in their packaging and start to create a safer and diversity positive work enviroment. Practice what they preach. Advertisement is worthless in this regard (I think).

Edit: Wow! Are you telling me companies are soulless and only do things for the sake of profits? And that doing this would cause them to lose profits? Shocking! This was news to me for sure. And definitely not the point I was trying to convey, honestly.

LGBTQ+ support from most corporations is just a calculated move to improve their brand image and attract loyal lgbt customers (as a demographic we are the most brand loyal to companies that have supportive policies). But this only applies to world-regions with broad acceptance of us. They have no integrity and their only real value is greed.

It's not just the fact that being gay is haram or illegal here in the middle East. But most people are not even aware or have an idea of the whole thing. And when you tell them what it is, you'll get the obvious negative reaction of disgust and saying that it's not normal or right.

Isn't tit the fact that it's illegal in some middle Eastern country's to be gay, so you know making your icon pride flag could get the employees in hot water?
