Rainbows everywhere. Hi. I walked into the office building yesterday and rainbow stuff everywhere. Nearby nursery has all rainbow colours on fencing and there was an ambulance with rainbow colours. A bit ridiculous?

The same week a reform MP said I quote ‘IVF is not healthcare but a lifestyle choice’ and ‘poor people shouldn’t have children’

FFS let’s have 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

The OP (who hasn't come back) never actually said they didn't like rainbows because it's to do with Pride....
Maybe they're just sad they never found a pot of gold.

I love all of the colours and hadn’t associated it with pride I am a bit dim

Seconded. Why we have adopted this silly ostentatious signalling of our allegiances is beyond me. It's the same as the NHS lanyards, which thankfully the Government looks like it's bringing an end to.
We don't need others' views rammed down our throats as we go about our business.
It's just an opportinity to virtue signal and draw attention to yourself. It's also diversive but i suspect that is why some do it anyway

Nurseries have always had Rainbows. I refer you to Noah's Ark.

Children like colour.

My daughter is gay and she feels the same.
Still it's a chance fir MNetters to parade how very clever and accepting they are.
They're having a ball on this thread.

The women in FWR know better.

I absolutely loved Pride month when I first came out about 30 years ago, but back then it was about LGB & the right to be same sex attracted.

Now, it’s about the TQ+ & is the exact opposite.

I’m staying well away & I think a lot of these posts are either bloody disingenuous or don’t know what’s going on.

Utterly OTT. I’m with you OP. And why they need to be in a nursery is beyond me.

I guess it would be nice for the kids to know that all kinds of family are accepted and welcome, including those with same sex parents.

Needmorelego · 06/06/2026 14:22

@Thecomedyclub now I have too. Damm you 🌈

What else do you hate? Sunshine? Song? The sound of children’s laughter????
what a think to get triggered about.

This is so funny.

Why on earth would children like a rainbow? Outrageous! It’s WELL KNOWN that children HATE rainbows! Stop THRUSTING RAINBOWS DOWN CHILDREN'S NECKS. Colours are disgusting to children!

I’m now singing the theme tune to Rainbow in my head, which will be my earworm for the day! 80s kid here 🌈🌈🌈

Needmorelego · 06/06/2026 14:19

@TheignT when you sort out crayons /felt tip pens do you put the pink ones at the red end or the purple end?
I'm never sure what is the acceptable method.

Proud for the LGBTQ community

Proud of the gifs on this thread!

TonTonMacoute · 06/06/2026 14:16

Well you would expect to see rainbows during Pride month.

My impression is that quite a few LGB people are getting fed up with Pride month and are complaining that it's been hijacked by fetishists who just want to get their bits out, but that I don't how widespread that view is.

I stand with the OP. I cut the heads off flowers too. No colours around if I can help it.

It's also why I only watch the start of Pleasantville movie and switch it off before the bits of colour come in

I mean to be fair, looking at general trends in decor, car colours and fashion, you're not alone there.🙄

Ban the beige!

Get in the bin grey!

Is it just me or does anyone else always sort packets of crayons or felt tip pens into rainbow colour order?

Yes me too. I did smile in Sainsbury's when I picked up a self scanner and it had a rainbow.

Ah the awful celebration and promotion of tolerance and acceptance. How horrible.

I’m much more up for intolerance and hatred and divided communities. World is definitely better like that.
