#32 Rainbow-washing and performative allyship of pride


Listen Later

This week, we're joined by our favorite Derek Tran once again to chat about the state of COVID, rainbow-washing, performative allyship, and showing up authentically.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Derek's Tinder profile. Yes. Really.
  • COVID mask mandates going down in many parts of America
  • Rainbow-washing and performative allyship from companies
  • Goods Unite Us revealing of where corporate sponsorship is going toward
  • The capital reason why it's valuable to rainbow-wash and market pride
  • Why we all still need to support pride as a protest
  • The shift away from hiring police at pride
  • Why everyone needs to stop eating at the evil chicken shop
  • Showing up authentically yourself this pride season
  • Speaking with our action vs. performance
