For the past few years, Alaska Airlines took the lead in Pride Month antics, with videos, special fights to San Francisco, and extensive features on LGBTQAI+ workforce. This year, the airline has dialed it back a bit, keeping its pride videos off of X/Twitter and instead putting them on Instagram, where the crowd is decidedly more liberal and where Meta exerts its authority. Other airlines have also mellowed out on the Pride capers.
To note how much more liberal the Instagram crowd is, the drag queen post above by the Kenai Fjords division of the National Park Service received over 5,700 of “likes” in just one day, while a Kenai Fjords NPS post honoring Military Appreciation Month received only 183 “likes” in five days.
Pride Month, as designated by executive proclamation by the president, most urban mayors and Democrat-run states, fathers parades and social media celebrations by the FBI, the NSA, and every other alphabet agency of the federal government, including the National Park Service, whose Instagram account for Kenai Fjords National Park took the lead in Alaska.
Among those not acknowledging the sexual celebration month, so far, are at least teams of the National Football League, including Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee Titans, Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos, Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons and even the Seattle Seahawks have balked at putting the rainbow on everything, sticking to a re-post from Lumen Field, the team’s home arena.
Bud Light has chosen to focus its social media on a “fight night” theme on Instagram and X this month, whistling past the graveyard it dug for itself during the Dylan Mulvaney marketing fiasco of 2023. It launched Pride Month with a push for Ultimate Fighting Championship bouts, altogether the opposite of Mulvaney’s prepubescent girly come-on campaign from last year.
