We spend a lot of our time pointing out the corporate entities who cowed to the Trump Administration’s vicious mandates around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, especially Pride. So here’s a little about one company that is sponsoring Pride events by donating a percentage of profits during June. Puttshack Pittsburgh is partnering once again with the It […]
