![]() U.S. businesses that get involved in Pride Month celebrations will be met by skepticism by a majority of Americans over their motivations in supporting LGBTQ Americans and commemorating the anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. A survey from Pew Research Group released just ahead of June 1 finds that both LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ Americans think the reason that businesses participate in the month’s events is because they believe it will be good for their bottom line. Among LGBTQ Americans 64% agree with that sentiment while 54% of non-LGBTQ respondents thought the same. More than a third of both groups say businesses feel pressure to participate and only around 15% believe companies genuinely have a desire to celebrate LGBTQ people. “Many companies sell Pride-themed merchandise and express support for the LGBTQ community in other ways throughout June, although some have scaled back in recent years,” wrote Rachel Minkin, a research associate focusing on social and demographic trends research at Pew Research Center on the company’s website. Here are some of the other key findings of the survey conducted in January and February:
