Idunno, tolerating our symbology for a month doesn't mean tolerating us ever. They're still gonna call me "sir" if I go in there, even if they gave/sold me a shirt with a pride-ified version of their logo on it. I'm not convinced that the filthy rich co-opting our symbols for profit for a moment is really of benefit when it doesn't actually mean anything.
It's fully vacuous and may even devalue our symbols, I say. Seems like exploiting us and supporting us would look different.
