Most Americans say that companies should publicly support LGBTQ+ communities, a GLAAD survey finds. In recent years, the rainbow wave during Pride Month has swept across companies, big and small, signifying support for LGBTQ+ communities. However, these gestures often fall short of genuine support, or businesses often receive backlash and revert their initiatives, leaving many to question the depth and sincerity of allyship.
