I'm so ashamed at the fact, that pride month is the only time of the year when my workplace gives a shit about our rights. They participate in the pride parade just to check it off their list.

Not a cool cabinet. By the sounds of it, the cabinet's purpose is to keep pride stuff sealed away to prevent anyone LGBTQ from feeling like there their employer has any respect for them.
