Rainbow colours everywhere

But they don't have a stranglehold on our institutions. They don't have obligatory posters, flags and lanyards in our public institutions and they don't have tax payer funded parades funded.

It's the same in Barnsley.

So they bave Reform stopping pride and Labour attacking GC thinking. The lesbian citadel of Hebden needs to rise in the north!

Could we launch an army of Mumsnetters to help game of thrones style flags everywhere 🇬🇱

Great list but you missed “Paint the whole world with a rainbow” Rainbow

Joyful!

My bingo card is now full!

We’ve got ‘ramming it down people’s necks’ ( please explain how displaying a flag does this)

What do I win?

It's the "Anti light reflecting, refracting and dispersing" movement, which has close ties with the "Anti interaction of light, matter, and the human eye" faction of the Order of the Black and White Only Supremacy.

It’s a cause? Say more.

Pleasantville! One of my favourite films. Nobody else I know has ever heard of it 😁

To be honest, I think your reaction is a bit tame. I get our old black and white tv out of the loft every time we watch The Wizard of Oz and we watch it all the way through like that. We fast forward "Somewhere over the rainbow" too. This is what commitment to a true cause really looks like.

How did pass you by, given your commitment to disabled activism? It wasn’t mentioned at any of the charities for which you volunteer or by any of your many friends with disabilities? It didn’t come up in your many networks of people commited to representing and supporting people with disabilities?

Assuming of course that you’re interested in and committed to the rights of disabled people not just engaging in embarrassing whatsaboutery whilst being too lazy even to google.

Our Reform led council have removed the rainbow flag from the town hall 🙁

Maybe because being a disabled person,carer volunteer etc have never been a criminal offence that had to be kept quiet otherwise you would be arrested?

You might need to talk to a therapist about your hatred of anything colorful. And there are young people who couldn't be bribed to watch a black and white movie no matter how great it is. I don't understand these views at all.

Well we live in a democracy and all have to tolerate what we don’t want to see- Reform propaganda anyone. Many, many others don’t agree with your views on Pride and value it hugely.

the beautiful rainbow was ruined by pride (as pride is now anyway)... I didn't even used to mind pride (attended myself once), until it got taken over by gender identity ideology which I don't believe in. now I have to see reminders of what I basically think of as hardcore misogyny and compelled speech everywhere...

Well my irony meter just exploded

Also who else in the organisation knew, and are still involved 🤔

I am not LGB or TQ+ but surely in a nursery they are just rainbows?! I also have strong beliefs on biology which means that you are the sex you are born with. I also have strong beliefs that you can dress however you want. I also have absolute belief in protecting biological women's spaces.

Noone is teaching under 4s anything about sexuality or this stuff surely? A rainbow is just a rainbow to a nursery aged child. If it is not is bloody well should be!

I cannot imagine a situation where I would be marking an unremarkable fact to me that someone has 2 mummy's or 2 daddy's or whatever else, with a rainbow to children this young.

Or in fact that my very young child would be interested? Families come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and that would be what what my young child understood. It would not be attached to the flag.

Having said that I lived in Manchester 30 years ago and pride was brilliant. Canal street was epic!

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

As I remember it was Pride day and now it's turned into a month.

I was at a village fete and saw a woman PAINTING a rainbow on to a child's FACE. She painted a UNICORN on another child's face. What colour was the unicorn's mane? ANOTHER fucking rainbow! It made me sick. Solidarity.

The number of Pride organisers nationwide are in the hundreds. It's not comparing incidences with the wider population but with the small numbers involved with Pride who have been convicted. If you worked at a company with a few hundred employees and 8 of them were convicted of paedophile offences, it'd be front page news.

Out of how many and how does that compare with the wider population? Those numbers are meaningless on their own

Awwwww, diddums

Boyd was a chair of Swindon and Wiltshire Pride from September 2022 to March 2023.
