Hear Me Out: Corporate Pride is Tacky, Pointless and Counterproductive

On today’s episode of Hear Me Out… these gays are trying to murder
my neutral palate. Pride Month festivities come at a time this year
when LGBT+ rights are under attack across the country. Brands like
Target and Bud Light are facing backlash for lifting up queer
voices — but is this all a symptom of pride having gone a little
too mainstream?  Comedian, writer and podcast host H. Alan
Scott joins us to discuss his vision for a pride to be proud of…
and, at length, the trouble with rainbows. If you have thoughts you
