Because businesses have as much right to their expression of speech as you do. I doubt you use this particular business so why are you spending your time being outraged about it? Find more constructive uses for your time and check yourself for authoritarian sentiments.

This is fair but I am concerned about the level of pressure ESG ratings are putting on businesses to force them to show compliance to a highly leftist political orthodoxy, which has been co-opted by existing power structures to exert control and accrete further power to themselves. One could argue the top down social pressure (not grassroots as it once was) to show compliance is in itself a form of authoritarianism.

The pressure is coming from the free market. Consumers who want corporations to not make the planet uninhabitable by way of infinite consumption. If you don't like the way things are going, you problem is with free market capitalism itself.

Come on, read a bit into the Fiat standard to understand what the root cause of all the consumption problems is.

Totally (free speech). I don't like their political overtone so I have the free choice to cancel my subscription. Stay neutral and do just business. If politics is a thing for you, join a party or become an activist.

This isn't politics. This is pure noise especially through the lense of Bitcoin. Do not get distracted over social issues dividing you away from your neighbor. These subjects only serve to exploit hateful emotions from within you.

Even worse, it's an ideology.

I don't see the problem with ideology on its own and I am not entirely sure you understand the definition but what you are indicating is an eradication of this ideology. At least, that is your root desire.
To eradicate an ideology means to completely eliminate or eradicate a particular set of ideas, beliefs, or principles from a society or a group of people. It involves eliminating the influence, prevalence, and acceptance of that ideology to the point where it no longer holds significant sway or impact on individuals or the collective mindset.
I guess if you categories humans that change their gender or sexuality as an idea that must be eradicated, it looks a lot less like authoritarian enabled genocide.

I have respect for you being trans/queer/gay/bi whatever you define yourself as a different gender. I just expect from you the same respect for me being a heterosexual man and that I don't want to get shoved that ideology down my throat and that of my kids day in day out. We had that in East Germany, the ideology was called "socialism" and I know what I'm talking about as my family had to escape from the GDR.

Corporations do not get the option of being neutral, because the State commands otherwise. Every corporation says the exact same thing "we do not descriminate based on race, sex, etc." Because if they don't say that, then the EEOC will eviscorate them. Things like Pride Month are an extension of the civil rights legislation that created the EEOC and other departments of the Federal government.
If you doubt this, go ask someone who works in HR what would happen to a company if the EEOC decides that a company was a hostile work environment.
