BMW Faces Criticism Over Selective Pride Month Logo Use

The automaker allows regional discretion in displaying Pride-themed logos, citing cultural and legal considerations.

BMW's Middle East social media accounts do not feature Pride-themed logos, unlike its global accounts.
The company states that regional sales teams can opt out of centrally initiated marketing campaigns.
This practice reflects local laws and cultural norms, particularly in regions where LGBTQ+ rights are restricted.
The inconsistency has sparked backlash from both supporters and critics of LGBTQ+ rights.
Other major corporations, including sports leagues, have also scaled back Pride Month promotions this year.
