Fueled by right-wing media personalities and institutions like Fox News, conservatives are waging a ferocious war on companies that express support for the LGBTQ community, with hostilities against the celebration of gay rights swelling to levels not seen in many years. In effect, the supposedly anti-cancel culture crowd is leading the summer’s biggest cancel culture campaign. In recent weeks, right-wing media has smeared and incited boycotts against Bud Light and Target, two jumbo American brands that have been thrust into the center of the toxic culture wars. Both companies have been relentlessly attacked over their show of public support for the LGBTQ community. In recent days, The North Face, Kohl’s, and Chick-fil-A have also come under assault in the expanding war. And Disney, of course, has been an endless punching bag since it spoke out against the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida last year. In the right-wing media universe, in which millions of Americans firmly reside, these companies have been portrayed as “woke” and evil corporations seeking to groom children with radical — even Satantic — gender ideology that will corrupt their brains and ultimately lead to the destruction of society.

Analysis by Oliver Darcy, CNN,

Certain Right Wing factions in America drummed up tremendous wells of hate towards the LGBTQ+ Community in the last year. Primarily focusing their animus on the Trans Community and Drag Queens… of all people. They have seamlessly transitioned to an all out war on all things Pride related and have been ever more committed to silencing any entity that supports equal rights for the Queer community. Many LGBTQ+ activists hoped the March for equality had overcome the biggest hurdles with the ‘Obergerfell’ Marriage Equality decision but hate will never go away and the struggle continues.
