What #Target and #AnheuserBusch did with the LGBTQ community was performative allyship.

Real allies don’t back away due to threats and allow the true victims of discrimination to continue to take the brunt of the abuse.

If you’re not willing to have skin in the game, you’re not an ally.

Those are the precise words I was feeling but couldn't enunciate.

Performative allyship is where those with privilege, profess solidarity with a cause. This assumed solidarity is usually vocalized, disingenuous and potentially harmful to marginalized groups. Often, the performative ally professes allegiance in order to distance themselves from potential scrutiny.
