We're talking about the companies who were all rainbow logos last year but mysteriously went silent this Pride month.We chat about the statistic that 39% of Fortune 500 companies pulled back their Pride support this year, why Trump's election has made everyone scared of being "too woke," and how Pride feels more like the protest it started as rather than the party it became.Joel opens up about going back to therapy because of Keegan's heart condition, while Keegan gets passionate about why some gay people are distancing themselves from trans issues when we should be standing together.We also give massive props to the brands that actually showed up, from Boots smashing it to train companies wrapping entire trains in rainbow colours, and an exciting announcement about Leeds Pride! Plus we get into what real allyship looks like when it's not trendy, why supporting queer owned businesses matters more than ever, and what it really means to be part of our community in 2025.
