I work a lot in downtown Vancouver, Van has a very large and active gay community, and a very prominent gay district. In that area, every business has the word "pride" in their rainbow windows, rainbow signs, and of course, the flag flying or hanging everywhere.
My question is does that matter to you? Does it make you shop there? Does it add to the sense of community? Or do you feel they're appropriating your cause for profits? Obviously some bars etc are definitely meant to cater to the gay scene. But does a Shoppers Drug Mart, or a Circle K really care? I feel like they're doing it for the wrong reasons. But I want to get your opinion.
