Considering that Taco Bell is hosting drag shows, I wonder if this is all coming from their parent company Yum! brands. We should keep an eye out to see if KFC does anything similar.
The reality is that it’s impossible to push back on these things in a professional setting. No matter how calm or measured the response, if you’re an executive or management type involved in this stuff you immediately expose yourself to a discrimination lawsuit once it goes on your record. You’ll never be able to deliver anything but positive feedback to a gay employee (and that’s your job as a manager) lest they accuse you of something and everyone believes it because you’re that guy “with the history” because you canceled pride whatever.
I mean in reality you’d probably be fine, but the risk isn’t zero. Alternatively, even if you tank the company you’re just a hero that stood up to the Nazis or whatever.
You are right. It's very difficult for executives to resist these people. They use virtue-signaling to get their way. You are a bigot if you don't go along.
