In 2025, several corporations are retracting their support for LGBTQ+ pride initiatives, influenced by political pressures surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts during Trump's administration. Though companies like Target have released Pride merchandise, they have simultaneously rolled back commitments to minority hiring goals. NYC Pride has lost major sponsors, including Mastercard and Nissan, reflecting an overall downturn in corporate involvement in LGBTQ+ events. Despite these challenges, brands such as Levi's continue to emphasize safe spaces for the queer community through their Pride campaigns.
Despite significant pushback against diversity initiatives, major brands like Levi's are still launching Pride collections, emphasizing the need for safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community.
The decrease in corporate sponsorship for Pride events this year reflects the influence of political pressures on corporate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs orchestrated during Trump's administration.
