Business as usual. Pay lip service to maximise the pink dollar/pound/euro where they can.

Middle East we'll turn a blind eye to this to maximise the gains from oil wealth:

Reminds me of when gays were finally allowed to be members of the UK armed forces. I was rather torn: on one hand, I was all for gay equality, but on the other, as a pacifist or near-pacifist since my teens, I didn't like the idea of anyone being in the armed forces.

Loath as I am to agree with anything in the Spectator, I must admit he's right: corporations jumping on progressive bandwagons as far as their logos are concerned without necessarily doing anything is somewhat hypocritical. I don't much care that "Waitburycosdaldi plc supports Gay Pride month"; I just want them to treat their employees, suppliers and customers fairly.

Apparently not a spoof, then, although the article does suggest that BK Austria are being a bit tongue-in-cheek - a sort of autospoof, then.
