According to a recent survey from Gusto, LGBTQ entrepreneurs are starting businesses in record numbers. Then Transportation Secretary Duffy is targeting Rainbow Crosswalks as distracting and political, though he is basing his opposition for the crosswalks on opinion and no facts or data. Finally, hotel etiquette and respect for staff and public area behavior is a thing of the past. Showing up in the lobby barefoot and in pajamas while talking loudly on cell calls with no shoes in common areas is more prevalent than you would think.

With the demise of so many large corporations participating in Pride festivities this year, the monetary shortfalls in funding have been mitigated in part by local and small businesses participating in greater numbers with resources and dollars.
