What the hell difference does it make if she is a hetero or homosexual? Are they now advertising the butter for lube?

Can she steer the company towards the best shareholder value? If so, who cares if she likes innies or outies.

Yep. I like Finlandia and Kerrygold anyway, so it only matters if LoL is in my portfolio.

Hi everyone! I’m goodwithagun and I’m going to make very brave statement: I was born female, I have not surgically altered myself in the name of feelings, and I’m married to a man who also has not surgically altered himself in the name of feelings. Wew! Glad I got that off my chest. Where’s my award?

If it doesn't matter, why are they braying about it? Really? Why did her appetites even enter the conversation?

Apparently someone thinks that is important.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Pink. Money.

There are a number of high-income industries (especially creative ones) that have always had high proportions of those types of people. That, combined with the inherent impossibility of having biological children without surrogates, means that that particular demographic has a high potential for disposable income.

Land-O-Lakes wants a cut. It's the same reason you see major companies falling over themselves to celebrate Pride Month. They want gays' and lesbians' money and think they have tons of it.

That worked so well for JC Penny.
Even rich homosexuals only buy so much butter and milk. Besides, when they aren't carpet cleaning, they're eating "healthy", right?  Meh. Short their stock.
I'll get my butter where the smegma content is low, thanks.

You got it! Those who use gov money to fulfill contacts are required to have a certain percentage of contacts from “minority” businesses. What are the odds that LoL has a lot of gov bids, or is about to make a lot of gov bids?
