June is Pride month. So our social feeds will be awash with corporate rainbow logos performatively signalling their support for the LGBTQ+ community.
But some of the same companies celebrating Pride are also advertising on GB News’ website and YouTube channel – a media platform that pumps out virulent hatred of LGBTQ+ people.
We’re talking big names: Adobe, Burberry, KLM, Listerine, Nissan, SoundCloud, Squarespace, Trainline, Vistaprint.
Maybe these firms have no idea their ads are appearing next to transphobic and homophobic hate. But when you know, you know.
You can’t say you support LGBTQ+ rights while funding a platform that attacks them.
We’re teaming up with Stop Funding Hate to tell these companies to drop GB News. This Pride, let’s make support really mean something.
Take two minutes to write to these companies - tell them to pick a side, hate or Pride.
Update: Within 24 hours of launching the campaign, Radisson has stopped all of their advertisement on GB News
