@divya getting rid of queer representation to "work towards a more inclusive experience" is utter bullshit.

@alice @divya @caroline And even putting on my "soulless capitalist" hat for a second .... who removes a pride flag from the SF location? And not just San Francisco, but in the Castro District? Talk about not understanding your customers!

This is one of those decisions that is so utterly stupid it makes no sense from any perspective.
