It has now become commonplace for major corporations to join in on LGBT events such as Pride Month, National Coming Out Day or the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.
Indeed, this is sometimes a source of criticism within the community as companies are perceived to be cashing in on LGBT causes. In the United States, several hundred American corporations are part of a Human Rights Campaign business coalition which advocates in support of a bill in Congress that would provide legal protections to LGBT people.
But it is easy to forget that these demonstrations of support for LGBT customers and employees is restricted to certain countries.
