Pinkwashing

Noun

an instance or practice of acknowledging and promoting the civil liberties of the LGBTQ+ community, but superficially, as a ploy to divert attention from allegiances and activities that are in fact hostile to such liberties:

Posturing has always been this mayor’s stock in trade, so it’s no surprise he’s adopted pinkwashing as his latest bogus appeasement of constituents he neither understands nor cares about.
