Rural retail chain company Tractor Supply are facing calls for a boycott for, amongst other things, donating money to diversity and inclusion causes, which included projects that support LGBTQ+ youth.
Tractor Supply is far from the only retail chain that has faced boycott calls over DEI and Pride initiatives in recent years, though a rural supply company is certainly an unusual target for the right.
In fact, just today, right-wingers decided to take aim at IKEA’s rainbow Pride charity cake. To mark Pride Month 2024, the UK branch of the Swedish furniture chain announced its popular rainbow cake is back in its restaurants and will be sold throughout June, with 100 per cent of the profits going to LGBT+ Switchboard.
The fact that merely acknowledging that LGBTQ+ people exist and are worthy of basic human dignity and respect is considered a “political opinion” is exactly the problem.

But they’re not? Equality doesn’t mean more.
Idiots like that think that human rights are finite, and if someone else gets them, they lose then.
It’s remarkably stupid.
I still wish I could hear their line of thinking from them though. What are they possibly seeing.

Different than others, how?
If “treated with basic human dignity and respect” is “treated differently from everyone else” in your eyes, that sounds like a you problem.

Perhaps we do. How sad.
The fuck are you smoking?
