Seattle Pride Drops Amazon Sponsorship Due To Donations To Anti-LGBTQ Legislators
Channel: Queer News Tonight
Date: 2022-03-24

Yesterday, Seattle Pride issued a statement that they would not be allowing Amazon to sponsor their 2022 events.  In a statement they said, "Because Pride and our LGBTQIA+ community are here year-round, we are evaluating all of our corporate partners, with an emphasis on Presenting (higher-level) partners, to ensure they are of the highest caliber and actively support – and do not harm – our community. Through this evaluation process, Seattle Pride has decided to not partner with Amazon for the 2022 Seattle Pride Parade because of their financial donations to politicians who actively propose and support anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation, oppose pro-LGBTQIA+ and other human rights legislation, and for allowing anti-LGBTQIA+ organizations to raise funds from their AmazonSmile program."   With the spotlight turning to companies like Disney, Amazon, Walmart, CVS, and Publix in the wake of "Don't Say Gay" and other legislature, many are calling out the companies for "Playing both sides" of the political spectrum.
