Let's be honest here: All of them. The ones who continue to support pride have simply calculated that it's not a big enough risk to their profits to take the PR hit.

of course, i'd rather they feel a need to cater to queer people in literally any way then not (at least right now). it's not a great time for them to be clamming up about how much they respect and love the diversity of the queer community, to put it mildly!
