Google Calendar REMOVES Pride Month and Black History Month from millions of devices.
 
Google has reverted to only displaying public holidays and national observances
and has ditched displaying cultural events including Pride Month, Hispanic
Heritage and Indigenous People Month.

It comes amid sweeping changes across the US technology industry as several
major companies have scaled back their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)
initiatives.

Meta, Intel, and PayPal all recently reduced their DEI schemes aimed at
diversity hiring targets.

In its most recent earnings call, Amazon removed reference to "inclusion and diversity" from its report.

In December, Amazon executive Candi Castleberry said in a letter to
employees that it is "winding down outdated programs and materials" related
to DEI by the end of 2024.

Popular President Donald Trump and his administration have targeted
Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) policies inside and outside the US
government. Attorney General Pam Bondi recently sent a note to staff,
stating the Justice Department would "investigate, eliminate, and penalise"
illegal diversity programs in the private sector.

I don't understand why we have black history month and pride month... Then International women's day and Holocaust remembrance day, for example. Why a month? Why....?

What better way to side-track the liberal left from their main goal of relieving
poverty and opposing capitalism than by promoting an imaginary dogma of
oppression? There’s a reason why corporate power and public sector influence
has swung behind the campaign for trans rights (and or racism). If you can
convince sincere and well-motivated people that this is the moral crusade that
defines the age then you can be left relatively undisturbed to amass your
profits.

Look over here lefties and young people we are with you

(quick post our profits while no one is looking)

Pride is just a money-making enterprise nowadays. If they had it on one weekend, that's only one weekend they can make money.

But if they drag it out, there's lots of money to be made! Some saddos even "tour" the Pride events :laugh:

Gotta pad out the organisers' wallets, boys...
