A couple of years ago Diana Ross released a remix of I'm Coming out not long before Pride month, timed for the remix to hopefully hit #1 on the dance club play chart in June and it worked. It's crass and tacky, given the original intent of Pride, but that's how it's done these days.
At least Mary's estate and Diana Ross, hopefully, aren't contributing money to the campaigns and Political action committees of anti gay politicians. Some of the companies who are going all in with their pride logos and campaigns this month can't say the same.
