It appears the special burger version will only be available in Austria but is making headlines in the United States as the fast-food restaurant joins so many companies in virtue-signaling during the month of June.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Reactions on social media weren\u2019t entirely favorable, even from the LGBT community. On the company\u2019s Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CeQQGrigPqN\">page<\/a>, one user wrote, \u201cSome straight people came up with this and thought it was a great idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne day into pride month and already exhausted,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a joke, right?\u201d someone else asked.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time Burger King went public with their support of Pride Month and LGBT issues. Last June, the company donated 40 cents from the purchase of every Ch\u2019King sold that month to the Human Rights Campaign. HRC is the largest LGBT advocacy group and political lobbying organization in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Burger King insulted competitor Chik-fil-A with a tweet, posting, \u201cthe #ChKing says LGBTQ+ rights! during #pride month (even on Sundays \ud83d\udc40) your chicken sandwich craving can do good! we are making a donation* to @HRC for every Ch\u2019King sold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chik-fil-A has been mocked in the past for its openly Christian values, plus for being closed on Sundays so employees can attend church and spend time with their families.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Burger King\u2019s latest menu update is just one of many examples of companies going all-in for Pride month. Many put out statements or change their logos to rainbow colors. This year, even the U.S. Treasury Department <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/the-economy-is-toast-but-at-least-the-treasury-department-is-flying-a-pride-flag\">announced<\/a> it would be flying the Pride flag for the month of June.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Pride Whopper is reminiscent of the viral Royal Dutch Airlines ad from 2017. The company put out pictures of multiple seatbelt combinations, including two \u201cfemale\u201d ends and two \u201cmale\u201d ends that said, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter who you click with.\u201d Critics pointed out how the combinations literally could not click.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Burger King Austria is celebrating Pride Month by introducing the \u201cPride Whopper,\u201d a hamburger that comes with either two top or two bottom buns.
