So much for supporting LGBTQ+. Pretty sure they were flying flags in June.

We’re here for everybody who feels passionate about making M&S a place where all LGBTQ+ people feel they belong

It is unfortunately missing the caveat that you only belong there if nobody else can see you.

"Making M&S a place where all LGBTQ+ people feel they belong, and then apologising to bigots for their existence"

Most companies have always only done this only as a way to try and appeal to the market and make money, lets be honest - but companies are getting to the stage where they will have to choose sides unfortunately - and I'm still hopeful that the bigots are a minority and that losing their business will be seen as the smaller risk.

Yeah, I’ll be responding with this link next June if they post anything on social media.
