A example of "capitulation in advance" and "We know you're gay but could you not be so noisy about it?".... from NPR, of all people.

In reversal, NPR permits anchor to attend Pride event
The public broadcaster has faced increasing pressure from the Trump administration and Republicans.
National Public Radio dissuaded one of its most visible gay employees from attending a corporate LGBTQ Pride event, as the Trump administration and congressional Republicans put pressure on the public broadcaster.
“The guidance in our ethics handbook is to ‘avoid appearances at private industry or corporate functions,’” the organization’s managing editor for standards and practices, Tony Cavin, wrote to longtime anchor Ari Shapiro on Wednesday in an email, which was apparently sent by accident to many other NPR journalists.
“Because this is a closed corporate event I think it would be best to politely decline,” Cavin wrote, according to a copy of the email exchange seen by Semafor.
