Corporate support for Pride is dwindling nationwide. In NC, it's a mixed bag
Pride Month has long been an occasion for companies and institutions to display their support for the LGBTQ+ community, whether it be for profit or for principle. It's often a trivial gesture, but it can have a meaningful impact for a community that had long been relegated to the shadows of society. But more recently, that support has waned amid a regressive political climate that has made many companies rethink their commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion. A survey conducted by the national risk management firm Gravity Research found that around 39% of companies said they would reduce their engagement around Pride Month this year. Some of the top reasons for the change were the Trump administration, conservative activists and conservative policymakers, the survey found. Major corporations, including Mastercard and Pepsi, have pulled their sponsorship of major Pride events or avoided the topic on social media. In North Carolina, the results are mixed. Take Lowe's, which is based in Mooresville. Lowe's hasn't yet acknowledged Pride Month on its social media — a marked difference from past years when it openly embraced the occasion. That's not unexpected, given that Lowe's has already announced an end to many of its DEI initiatives. Last year, the company said it would no longer participate in surveys conducted by LGBTQ+ groups and ended its support of outside events like festivals, parades and fairs. (Lowe's had previously been a longtime supporter of Charlotte's annual Pride festival.) But surprising or not, it's reflective of a growing trend away from publicly embracing the LGBTQ+ community. Charlotte-based Bank of America also has remained quiet about Pride so far. In past years, Bank of America has been vocal about celebrating the occasion on social media and honoring its LGBTQ+ employees with the hashtag #BofAPride, but that support has been absent this year. Compare that with Truist, which posted in celebration of Pride on its Facebook and Instagram accounts. For North Carolina's professional sports teams, the results are mixed, too. While the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte Hornets both celebrated the start of Pride on social media, the Carolina Hurricanes have not. In fact, the team has remained largely silent about Pride since 2023 — the Hurricanes are one of just a handful NHL teams to not acknowledge it this year — a decision that has disappointed many fans who feel a simple acknowledgment of the occasion is not too much to ask. The same goes for the state's largest cities. The city of Charlotte posted on its social media accounts at the beginning of Pride, in addition to updating its profile picture to a rainbow version of the city's crown logo. The cities of Raleigh and Greensboro, however, did not. This move toward silence comes at a time when things like Pride celebrations and flags are under attack from lawmakers across the state. Legislation has been introduced at the state level that would effectively ban the display of Pride flags in government buildings, while some counties have passed ordinances governing public events that some interpret as targeting Pride events or drag performances. Of course, a social media post is just that: a social media post. It's not going to defeat anti-LGBTQ legislation, or save gay kids from being bullied, or change the country's attitude towards transgender people — at least not on its own. From some companies, it's just a lot of empty words or glorified virtue signaling. But public support for any marginalized group can be meaningful, especially when it happens on a large scale. And when institutions cower in the face of political pressure to stay silent, they're just letting the bullies win. It makes real change all the more difficult. Ultimately, it's not the silence that is the problem. It's the fact that the silence is new — a sudden absence of the public support and acceptance that existed before. It feels like another step backward during a time when progress feels like it's constantly stuck in reverse.

These 5 car colors lose the most value in the Las Vegas Valley, study says
Bad news for owners of vehicles in these five colors. Five car colors in the Las Vegas Valley lose the most in value when it's time to trade-in or sell, according to a study from iSeeCars. The study analyzed over 1.2 million model year 2022 used cars from August 2024 through May 2025 and how much their value depreciated over three-year timelines compared to the manufacturer's suggested retail price. White cars depreciated the most, losing 31.6 percent, a $15,285 difference from the MSRP, according to the study. Black and gray cars finish off the top three, with a 30.9 percent and 29.5 percent depreciation or a $14,915 and $13,230 difference from the MSRP, respectively. "White and black are the two most common car colors, which suggests plenty of people want them," said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer in a statement. "But it also means those colors provide zero distinction in the used market, reducing their value and making it easy for buyers to shop around for the lowest-priced model in these shades." Blue is the next color on the list with a three-year depreciation of 29.3 percent or $13,297 difference from the MSRP, according to the study. Red is the fifth on the list, with a 28.5 percent, three-year depreciation or a $12,449 difference in the retail price. While all cars lose their value, these next five colors have the lowest depreciation. Yellow is the top color in Las Vegas, as well as across the top 50 metro areas, with the highest resale value, according to the study. The three-year depreciation is 22.7 percent, or a $12,947 MSRP difference. Following is green, with a 25.2 percent depreciation and a $12,637 MSRP difference; orange with a 25.3 percent depreciation and a $10,292 MSRP difference; beige with a 26.8 percent depreciation and a $16,811 difference from MSRP; and gold with a 27.1 percent depreciation and a $13,141 MSRP difference. "While bright or obscure colors may not be widely preferred, they tend to be much rarer than mainstream colors on the used market," said Brauer. "This can lead to higher resale value for used vehicles with uncommon colors, where buyer demand outstrips supply." ___ Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Travis Kelce Sends Strong Message After Taylor Swift's Personal Decision
Travis Kelce Sends Strong Message After Taylor Swift's Personal Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Taylor Swift is arguably one of the biggest and most prominent pop stars in the world today, and therefore, it is no doubt that her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce draws tons of attention. Advertisement A common sight on television during Chiefs games is Swift watching from a luxury box. It is something that annoys some fans, but it has also brought lots of publicity, not to mention viewership, for the NFL. On Friday, it was announced that Swift made a huge career move when she made it known that she now owns the rights to her first six albums. This should open up plenty of business opportunities for her, including the ability to receive royalties from her songs. Kelce congratulated Swift on gaining the rights to all the songs on those albums, including "I Knew You Were Trouble," a song from the album "Red" in 2012. NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal tried to sing along with the lyrics during an appearance on the "New Heights" podcast with Kelce and his brother Jason. 'Shout out to Tay-Tay, just got that song back, too. Just bought all her music back, so it's finally hers too. I appreciate that," Travis Kelce said. Until recently, the rights to those six albums were held by Shamrock Capital, which had purchased them from Ithaca Holdings. Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings previously bought Big Machine Label Group, which had owned the rights to the master recordings of those six albums. Advertisement According to Billboard, Swift reportedly paid around $360 million for the rights to those recordings. Pop icon Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce at Arrowhead J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Travis Kelce flirted with the idea of retirement after the Chiefs lost in Super Bowl LIX to the Philadelphia Eagles. But the 35-year-old will be back for the 2025 season, which is the final season of his current contract.
