    RAINBOW FATIGUE? America Cooling on Corporate Pride Month

    1. The Pride Month Culture Pride Month has been overly promoted, with expectations that individuals and organizations must participate.

Corporate “Shift” Away from Pride Promotion Companies and organizations (e.g., the NFL) are reducing visible support for Pride Month. This is a “course correction” after years of compliance with activist pressure. Some teams not posting Pride content is highlighted as evidence of changing attitudes. 3.
