After Target stores and the Bud Light beer brand faced public criticism for loudly promoting “LGBTQ Pride Month,” The Daily Signal was curious how other well-known companies and brands are participating.

Last year, Twitter, Facebook, and other companies made public announcements in press releases, blogs, or other digital posts about how they were marking Pride Month.

This year, many of the same giant brands went relatively silent. 

As many companies quietly promote Pride Month to celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or “queer” individuals and groups, The Daily Signal compiled a list of 60 well-known companies and what they’re doing. 

Here it is, in no particular order, although some competitors are grouped together. 

1. Amazon: At its headquarters, Amazon.com Inc. continues to fly the rainbow “Pride” flag in addition to sponsoring and supporting LGBTQ merchandise, film, books, and other entertainment.
