I don’t think that’s true. I’m already seeing some solutions on this thread. I want the market to see a significant benefit to not promoting values that are hostile to Christians (I’m going to move A LOT of money). If more people take steps like this, they might want to re-consider the costs of over-emphasizing their giddiness over the LGBT movement.

Is your bank an interstate bank? If yes, and you are not moving Buffett level amounts, the branch can’t do anything about the advertising.

am getting very exhausted by my bank’s continued support of Gay Pride Month.

So what?

If you had to stop dealing with people who support stuff like this you’d have to get rid of your phone, internet, cable, computer, car, job, everything. You’d have to go live in a cave somewhere.

One or two days here and there? Yeah, who cares. But I do refuse to deal with companies that promote any highly polarizing topic for a month straight, even if it’s one I favor.

If I want a phone I want it to act like a phone. I want my internet company to provide me internet. I want my computer company to make my computer. I want my car to be safe and get me places. I want my employer to work in the industry that I am employed for and NOT be an advocate for some kind of cause to the detriment of their mission. Spending 30+ days promoting anything unrelated to “core industry values” is just ridiculous. Again, a day here and there–whatever–people have passions. But not endlessly.
 
THIS

As far as phone/internet goes, everything boils down to a very few companies (whom you have never heard of) who provide services to the “name brands” you know. The little niche carriers, like “Charity Mobile”, simply resell the services of the big guys.

All of those major players make charitable donations and support causes that you will disagree with. Your choice is to understand remote cooperation with evil or go live as an off the grid hermit.
 
No it isn’t, too often signs like “Gays not welcome” or people were chased out of shops were the norm. Telling them they are welcome as people goes a long way.

You are reading to much into it.

I’m 61, and never saw any such signs in my day. And believe me, homosexuality was none too approved of here in Pittsburgh even 20 years ago.
 
It seems like everyone is an overt supporter of gay pride month.

Why the heck do gay people get a pride month anyway? Why not straight pride month?
 
Try working in higher education.

As for the banking institution for which you work, depending on which it is, its support of LGBT pride could be its least offensive transgression.
 
Gay Pride events, especially the annual parade, were initiated on the first anniversary of the Stonewall riots in reaction to widespread police brutality directed against the homosexual community.
 
No doubt banks want the business of the LGBT community. Presumably they also want the business of the Christian community. Or do they turn away Catholics and Baptists as customers? I have never understood why big corporations feel the need to officially advocate for or against controversial issues. It will please some and infuriate others.
 
I couldn’t find even a credit union last I looked. But this will all pass. Probably, we’ll have a Mars Interplanetary Support month one day which will preempt the LGBT endless search for pride.

People will tire of the LGBT as soon as they hit fifteen letters/numbers. Right now, it’s only twelve: lgbtqqip2saa.
 
I prefer to celebrate the Sacred Heart. Jesus is more rejected than people with SSA and it is true.

The two things I think they do is one, to focus their “gay” ads customizing it for folks who would relate to them. You can do that with more social media, the ads I see on a lot of pages is different than what others might see.

The second is they usually don’t show specific support for gay marriage or transexuals in the nation’s ladies rooms. Instead its a more general salute to the LGBT community or LGBT pride, which gives them an opportunity to use weasel words and work both sides of the aisle.

Are you in America? Because my credit union is a part of a co-op and my husband travels extensively and has never had a problem finding a bank or ATM. https://co-opcreditunions.org/locator/
