This way, when the pendulum swings in the other direction and they try to take advantage of us again by showing their support, we can point to the record and show people that it's not sincere.

We shouldn't allow them to play both sides of the fence like this.

If you want to not forget as a personal principle, it'd be easier for you to note the ones who aren't rolling back their support. It'll be a smaller list.

But doing this to show people that it's not sincere is probably unnecessary at this point. Pinkwashing has been going on for over a decade by now at minimum. If you're dealing with "convince people corporations shouldn't be taken at their word regarding queer rights" as a goal and existing history/arguments don't suffice, you're probably dealing with someone who's either one of the lucky 10,000 or someone who isn't willing to be convinced at all.
