I would argue that Pride being "cool" with capitalists and politicians is a good thing. If associating yourself with the Pride brand is mainstream enough that you are better off supporting it than not, that means we've turned a huge corner.
How can that be a bad thing? I mean, isn't that the ultimate goal? To be exploited as consumers like the rest of the us?
