another case in point from last month(!) and a little more to the South, where Vienna hosted this year's Europride: https://www.wienerlinien.at/eportal3/ep/contentView.do/pageTypeId/66526/programId/74577/contentTypeId/1001/channelId/-47186/contentId/4203520 the rainbow flags on trams have been a stable of the weeks leading up to pride for years: https://www.vienna.at/2019/05/20190530-Regenbogenf%C3%A4hnchen-1-1-4-3-330933700-933x700.jpg one of the main sponsors this year was REWE group, which everyone from Austria or Germany is probably familiar with, but as were others like Coca-Cola, one of the biggest banks in Austria, Siemens and some public/privatized stuff like unions, state railways, public transport of Vienna, .. full list here: https://europride2019.at/sponsors-partners/
