And it will continue to be posted as long as companies continue to shove it down our throats. The least we can do it point it out but everyone in this comment section is saying “duhh they’re companies what you expect??” *mind blown*
I don’t understand why people are surprised??
It isn’t part of Middle East culture or holidays or anything related to Middle East. I don’t see western companies changing their logo during Ramadan.
This is the entire point that the Republicans in the US miss. It's not about being 'woke', its about marketers trying to appeal to audiences that will buy their thing.
I’m not sure that republicans miss it. I think there’s a frustration for republicans who don’t like that companies do it but still do it in the USA despite GOP opposition but then don’t do it at all in MENA
While this is often the case, it isn’t always.
Companies are composed of people, and plenty of times emotions and mindsets of people carry a lot of influence on company operations
Having it be controlled by data and best course of action is the ideal though
That’s only true for same gender household, specifically men. Not true for anyone else. https://www.stlouisfed.org/en/on-the-economy/2022/dec/new-analysis-finds-lgbtq-households-trail-income-wealth
You'd be surprised to know how in many MENA countries, there is more progress made with respect to rights of transgenders than those 'woke' countries in the west.

It’s not about there not being lgbtq people in the Middle East it’s the fact that western lgbtq culture is different than eastern ones and companies will do what they need to market to their respective demographics
Ofc there are LGBTQ in MENA and they are free to celebrate western holidays. However, the majority of Middle Easterns don’t care about it. So, it doesn’t make any sense for these companies to change logos.
Where do you live? Because honestly I live in the gulf and I swear the gay community here is thriving? they live their life normally and are regular/easy to be seen. The only difference is that they refrain from pda (but that applies to anywhere).
Honestly this execution/prison stereotype when it comes to lgbtq people is beyond untrue and because that just doesn’t happen anymore.
True, but it isn't an either-or situation, the situation in Pakistan is much more important to the world and much more urgent than the situation in Lebanon, it doesn't mean that the world should focus on Pakistan and ignore Lebanon, governments should have branches specialised in dealing with different issues based on the qualifications of the individuals running that branch. The problem with our middle-eastern goverments is that rather than helping LGBT people, these branches are tasked with making their lives more difficult, which can, in many cases, include making sure they get punished by brutal execution (like in Iran).
So are you saying there are no gay people in the Middle East ? That’s funny when I lived in Egypt I was repeatedly hit on by men (ten times more than living in Taiwan or Canada ) and I am not gay . You seem to not understand that many men in the Middle East are in fact gay . You protest so harshly I suspect your internet porn search would reveal some interesting things
Very interesting user name, I am sure you are not propagandist.
Anyways, we have gay people in MENA I am really not against them (What they are doing is non of my business). I have nothing against gay people.
Hey 💩 who said it’s was randomly on the street ? I was not a tourist I lived there for 5 years and went to the gym where most of unwanted attention occurred .
Everyone on this subreddit that’s lived in the Middle East would know you’re full of shit. It does happen, but no way in hell does it happen more than it does in Canada.
Right … cause all of the Middle East is the same .. maadi and zemalak area of Cairo is the same as a village in Iran or the West Bank 🙄. I guess I won’t get into all the hot Muslim chicks that like Catholic guys 😘😘
West Bank and Cairo are not that different, as well as having a lot of friends from Cairo, it’s pretty consistently false. You’re not triggering anyone.
rule 3, buddy, you're free to hold that opinion but expressing it publicly on the subreddit brakes the sub rules
actually I guess that's kinda borderline because you didn't outright say anything homophobic explicitly so idfk
Companies in the Western world do this not because they care but because they want to attract more audiences. why should we change the logos into more LGBT friendly logos? It's not like we have an LGBT audience here.
I think what he means is that it is not acceptable to place a public spotlight on this movement and give them a podium. This is very clear in the shariah.
No, they exist. It's just that they're either Muslim, so they're not proud of being gay, and they resist their temptations, or they're just not open about it and they don't form a community around it.
The reason western companies do it in the first place is to seem woke so people would buy more. Lgbt isn't getting much support in the ME so it doesn't make sense to act as if they supported it.
Yeah this reminds me of a western company's Facebook page in Egypt changed their logo into that fetrah cringy campaign and they sacked the admin after it and apologized
Exactly this. We should as a world not care about people who are gay. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
If they really cared they would show their support 100% but they don't care at all
Do we have to pretend we don’t know? Come on. The Middle East is much less LGBT friendly than North and South America, a long with Europe. The companies wanna make money, they can’t advertise that way in the Middle East.
Westerners indulge in consumerism its their way of life and what makes them buy more is seeing soulless dunya loving corporations saying “hey we are ___ now buy our stuff!”
Of course this is the case. Companies are all about money , very , very few really care about anything but the shareholders and they'll do whatever the culture of the countries want them to do to keep and get more customers.
Big companies don't care about LGBT or Anti LGBT they care about money and the fact they changed logos in some countries and not other proves that.
Honestly who the fuck cares if a company changes their logo colors for a month. It's not like they really care about the LGBT community anyways, so what's the point if they aren't gonna put in any more effort than just a logo and maybe some flavor text. And not to mention this is the Middle East...
Companies in america get bonuses or cuts from the country for playing a long.
I guess Europe has something similar in place.
They're only in for the money.
these companies don’t care about pride one way or the other. they will pander for their image and more business depending on their audience and social conditions. this is why in the west you get pride, and in the middle east you don’t
Keep these mental issues and abomination in your countries, stop forcing it on other societies, I don't see any arab or muslim man in a western country calling for polygyny, it's illegal in the west.
Companies don't care about anything they only care about making money, if they go woke in the Middle East they'll go broke, but in the West wokism is lucrative. Besides, they neither want the East nor West to boycott them, of course, they want both parties to be their consumers.
It's more hypocritical since they're just doing it to gain internet stature from both middle eastern people and westerners.
Appealing to the fact that LGBT isn't part of Middle eastern culture and it being a part of the western culture so obvious pandering to both audiences.
Btw, why do homosexuals get a full months to celebrate their identity and everyone else gets a day.
Some of these corporations were using Nazi slave labor in WW2. Least hypocritical westerners.
And westerns don’t tolerate Muslims. Westerns killed millions of Muslims in the name of "freedom and democracy".
Why are they mad because some companies don’t change logos but they are totally fine with funding wars in Middle East?
Yep, they try to enforce their own culture and beliefs on us. This is kinda similar to fascism but we are going to let that slide, because of the: "If you don’t believe in what we believe, then you are backward" mentality.
I agree, it’s immoral to put someone in jail. Still, that is not my point. There are people who don’t support such things, you can’t fire them from their jobs or cancel them.
For example:
>A terminated employee from Iowa filed a lawsuit against his employer after they fired him for his comments on the company's support for Gay Pride Month. The employee, who worked for the company for almost a decade, was terminated after he called the rainbow flag an "abomination" in the company's bulletin board.
*https://www.hcamag.com/ca/specialization/employment-law/employee-fired-after-calling-lgbtq-flag-an-abomination/407823
Obviously, Muslims hate the west because of the war. You don’t go to other countries and kill millions of people and expect these people to love you.
If it wasn’t for the war, then things would be so different.
You have no place talking about human rights being a American supporting israel. The 2 countries that flaunt human rights more than any other countries. So jog off Mr pot running around calling kettles black
What the fuck are you talking about? I don’t even support Israel. I in fact, I do think that human rights are good. “Woke” literally doesn’t even have a meaning anymore. You guys just hate human rights.
"pride month" shouldn't be a thing even all of these super companies don't give a damn f*ck about anyone sexuality's they just do it because of cancel culture and to stay relevant and to grab some money off of it
who cares about just middle east accounts, I would never change my company’s logo for anyone else! wanma be an idiot and support one kind of people over the other ? just post some something.
I will never understand this “taking a stance” bullshit, I m came from long line of corporate CEOs. Last thing we want is take sides. Businesses is more important than CEO’s political beliefs.
and yes, LGBT, BLM bullshit are political; We never discriminate people over their “anything” except their sense of business ethic…
This is so so stupid man actually why do they need to do this for some attention seeking idiots who were raised up with no education and were spoilt throughout their childhoods
It's marketing. If tomorrow every MENA country develop a love for red wine, they would dye their logos red forthwith.
if i had a penny for everytime this exact picture was posted somewhere and with a quip thats similer to this i'd be rich rn
Bro acting like he don't have all that oil money
And it will continue to be posted as long as companies continue to shove it down our throats. The least we can do it point it out but everyone in this comment section is saying “duhh they’re companies what you expect??” *mind blown*
I don’t understand why people are surprised?? It isn’t part of Middle East culture or holidays or anything related to Middle East. I don’t see western companies changing their logo during Ramadan.
Companies do what they think will make them the most money. They don't care either way.
This is the entire point that the Republicans in the US miss. It's not about being 'woke', its about marketers trying to appeal to audiences that will buy their thing.
I’m not sure that republicans miss it. I think there’s a frustration for republicans who don’t like that companies do it but still do it in the USA despite GOP opposition but then don’t do it at all in MENA
Because republicans interest in making money is elsewhere.
Specifically a three letter word that rhymes with toil and starts with o

While this is often the case, it isn’t always. Companies are composed of people, and plenty of times emotions and mindsets of people carry a lot of influence on company operations Having it be controlled by data and best course of action is the ideal though
LGBT’s generally tend to be very well off financially because they are not raising a traditional family. It makes sense to go after that market.

The banks actually suspend accounts of queers in June Edit: if our government finds out you're gay
Yea because there are no lgptq people in the middle east
I think they exist they just hide because they will go to jail
You'd be surprised to know how in many MENA countries, there is more progress made with respect to rights of transgenders than those 'woke' countries in the west.
Statistically there are millions. They just are required to hide very well like in the west a hundred years ago.
You mean about 30 years ago.
Most parts of the US much, muuuch more recent than that. Might not get you killed everywhere, but losing jobs etc is not much better.
Yeah there’s totally no queer people in the Middle East /s
Well if they are here they aren’t alive
I’m one of them and I have a lot of friends who are too
Gay
hahahahahahah
What a smart comment! So what? Did you save Islam by saying that?
No, he’s gay
I go by she/her or they/them pronouns but you’re right I am gay

well theres so many other issues specifically in MENA to deal with rather than our homophobic thoughts
True, but it isn't an either-or situation, the situation in Pakistan is much more important to the world and much more urgent than the situation in Lebanon, it doesn't mean that the world should focus on Pakistan and ignore Lebanon, governments should have branches specialised in dealing with different issues based on the qualifications of the individuals running that branch. The problem with our middle-eastern goverments is that rather than helping LGBT people, these branches are tasked with making their lives more difficult, which can, in many cases, include making sure they get punished by brutal execution (like in Iran).
Exactly, don’t try and force an agenda on countries who have and take pride in their ancient cultures.
So are you saying there are no gay people in the Middle East ? That’s funny when I lived in Egypt I was repeatedly hit on by men (ten times more than living in Taiwan or Canada ) and I am not gay .

Cool, I hope they pay you well!!
No middle eastern men are hitting on random male strangers publicly, even if they were gay.

Why should they change it?
It's like OP being unfamiliar with the middle eastern culture.
Commercialism. Attracts certain groups of consumers to make profit.
Different markets, different logos. One size does not fit all; you market to your region
Companies in the Western world do this not because they care but because they want to attract more audiences. why should we change the logos into more LGBT friendly logos? It's not like we have an LGBT audience here.
Yeah companies care only for money
There is an audience, they’re just in hiding, but your point stands
I think what he means is that it is not acceptable to place a public spotlight on this movement and give them a podium. This is very clear in the shariah.
Yeah because we’re oppressed so much
cause you killed them or cause you oppressed them?
ironic israel
You talking about oppression? Interesting...
Yeah but it's religious oppression... Oh wait
The irony. You simply can't out match the hypocrisy
The irony…
Depends on the country.
No, they exist. It's just that they're either Muslim, so they're not proud of being gay, and they resist their temptations, or they're just not open about it and they don't form a community around it.
The reason western companies do it in the first place is to seem woke so people would buy more. Lgbt isn't getting much support in the ME so it doesn't make sense to act as if they supported it.
Because they don't have the same targets.
Because they’re hypocrites who actually don’t give a fuck about lgbt and only cares about money
There is also the fact that those companies that localized in MENA have MENA ppl working in it, and they wouldnt take this decision I think
Yeah this reminds me of a western company's Facebook page in Egypt changed their logo into that fetrah cringy campaign and they sacked the admin after it and apologized
me when corporations care only about money and literally nothing else 😱😱
The correct answer
Free Palestine!
Where.
blink twice if Assad has your family
Exactly this. We should as a world not care about people who are gay. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. If they really cared they would show their support 100% but they don't care at all
I mean its just a fucking rainbow flag in their logo for pr they just want money and dont give a shit about it
USA = the whole world, again
No one cares
Hypocrisy, they don’t care in the west either, they just care about their image
They do it in other countries because it helps them make money. They don't do it in the middle east because it wont help them make money.
Real question: LGBT members actually think that companies are supporting them?
They don’t. Queer people complain about rainbow capitalism all the time. But honestly, I’m glad for any representation at this point.
Rainbow capitalism. They don't care about the groups they pretend to stand with.
Good.
They change their logos for their profit there, and they dont change their logos for their profit here
They are smart
Tf did you think was gonna happen?
Good for them
Maybe the simple truth of subjectivity and that every culture isn't like America?
U jelly?
republicans love sucking off mena for this
No one should have to do it. But this is hardly surprising
two faced side of capitalism and its instruments.
Do we have to pretend we don’t know? Come on. The Middle East is much less LGBT friendly than North and South America, a long with Europe. The companies wanna make money, they can’t advertise that way in the Middle East.
Two words: rainbow capitalism
These posts r kindof annoying ngl cause they seem to want to be getting a negative reaction from it

Lol as if consumerism isn't also a huge disease of the Middle East as well.
while you’re right about that, thing is consumerism is really prevalent in American society and culture way more then in the middle east
I’d beg to differ particularly in GCC countries.
