(13,865 posts)10. What the right wing doesn't understand:
Big corporations dont take these actions because of liberal political beliefs. They exist to maximize profit for their owners and stockholders, and being a modern and inclusive organization is the best way to create a good image for customers now and in the future.
Theres a very good reason most private company market research is directed st the 20-50 year old set. United Air is not concerned that some old fool in a red baseball cap might be thinking, Oh my God, I think our pilot might be gay (or Muslim or black or etc etc).
