Why “Pride Month” 2025 Is Falling Flat

In recent years, June has been marked by a flood of LGBTQ-themed ads and marketing campaigns from major retailers and brands commemorating “Pride Month.” But this year, the festivities have been noticeably muted, and it seems many corporations are realizing just how toxic left-wing gender ideology has become.

Ahead of the start of Pride month, the Associated Press (AP) reported that LGBTQ-related events are facing “hundreds of thousands of dollars in budget shortfalls ahead of the summer festivities” as corporations drop their donations.

San Francisco Pride, the AP reports, “is facing a $200,000 budget gap after corporate donors dropped out.” The group said it felt “abandoned” after “five major corporate donors, including Comcast, Anheuser-Busch and Diageo,” dropped their sponsorship.

Similarly, KC Pride, in Kansas City, “lost about $200,000 — roughly half its annual budget.” Nissan and PepsiCo pulled back their support for NYC Pride as well. The LGBT group saw “20% of its corporate sponsors” reduce or completely eliminate their donations. Mastercard will no longer sponsor the event but will still participate in the march, according to the Wall Street Journal.
