It's pure marketing to the LBGTQ etc crowd. They are easily influenced, have disposable income, and are ready to purchase whatever they are told to purchase to demonstrate their "pride".

@SumKindaMunster I don't think that's fair. A lot of people I know who have pride merchandise are straight and are doing it to show their "support". There's definitely a marketing angle here, but it's not because LGBT people are more "easily influenced" than any other type of people.

@SW-User Ok, let me rephrase.

The LBGTQ crowd is just as easily led and influenced as any other demographic and corporations are leveraging that by sponsoring pride month. Of course it's a marketing opportunity for corporations. Look at all the free publicity and positive press this event has garnered.
