If a company acts to suppress & hurt a community then attempts to participate in said communities events, they should be ejected from said event. Pride organizers need to grow a pair and start kicking companies and orgs that have abused LGBTQ+ people to the curb. If said org tries to pull a Salvation Army, they should be publicly put on notice like the Greater Seattle Business Alliance did: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/as-salvation-army-wrestles-with-image-around-lgbtq-stance-and-faces-city-audit-an-85-year-old-ringer-loses-his-perch/ https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/as-salvation-army-... Actions speak louder than words, we have to fight back against PR that conveys lies.

Suppose for a moment that for whatever reason, airbnb has a vested interest in preventing sex workers from using their platform to pursue their sex work. And suppose that sex workers are disproportionately from the LGBTQ+ community. If airbnb aggressively targets and removes sex workers from its platform, does that automatically mean they are "abusing" LGBTQ+ people, or could it mean they just do not want their platform associated with sex work?

  Those two aren't mutually exclusive, and attempting to frame it in this manner is disingenuous. The ability to book a place to stay is regulated by hospitality law to prevent exactly this type of discrimination by AirBnB against Cadence Lux's non-work related usage of AirBnB.
