Rainbow washing: where does my pink money go?

Rainbow washing: where does my pink money go?

At long last, Pride season is back! However, rather than focusing on the actual rainbow flag, Casey and Lea discuss rainbow washing, or how several companies and corporations are seeing and using the LGBTQ+ community as a money-making, capitalist machine while also refusing to accept or support the community itself.


Among others, our hosts focus on Disney, Barilla and Coachella to look at companies which are either exemplifying rainbow washing trends, or actively disrespecting a portion of their consumers Pasta lovers, watch out for those homophobic cannelloni!


The hosts also discuss the positive and negative impacts that sponsors might have on Pride celebrations and events, and what difference they can make within queer people’s workplaces. And if you’re trying to get the attention of the cute girl walking beside you at Pride (and you’d like to see Lea’s more romantic side), make sure to listen for the super sweet pick-up line you’ll find towards the end of the episode.
