Rainbow colours everywhere

You do know that theres plenty of straight people also doing all of that

Is it really beyond you? You cannot understand why teaching acceptance, inclusion and representation to small children is needed? You are exactly why it's needed actually, you've proved them right!

I suspect it’s because everyone claims oppression now. There’s a general weariness at the victimhood everywhere. Even my teen comes home and said everyone at school is always offended. Words are literal violence, rules are oppression, consequences are injustice. I can’t imagine what it must be like to work in a secondary school right now.

Agreed. Our fire station used to fly the rainbow being eaten by the trans triangle all year round which I felt was excessive. This year they've more sensibly been flying the Fire Service flag. But this month they're flying the old Pride rainbow. I see this as progress.

I went to our local city Pride today to perform as part of entertainment. There was still a lot of trans focus including badges saying 'No Terfs' 🙄 but also lots of plain rainbows on show. There was also a separate 'Trans Pride' event a couple of weeks ago so maybe they sense the LGB are getting tired of them. Or maybe they're just greedy and need ALL the parades.

I honestly haven’t noticed many rainbows locally. The only thing that made me roll my eyes was my child’s senior school doing a whole load of virtue signalling online. Someone did have a go at them online over the trans aspect which I thought was brave considering the possible backlash.

Happy Pride Month!

What is the problem with people who have been historically oppressed celebrating their difference? Just live and let live ffs

I saw a nice one in Germany, where the Deutsche Bahn red stripe was replaced with a rainbow one. Of course, the majority of the train was still grey, wonder if it was a metaphor 😆

With a massive swing from 8% to 29% republican voting means it isn’t the inclusive utopia you think it is.

Detail exactly what's not true please.

I saw a train liveried in rainbow colours today. I don't object to the principle, but the average cost of re-liverying a train is at least £20k, which is a lot to spend when they charge a fortune for tickets and still can't run a reliable service.

There does seem to be alot of ‘look at us, we’re flying a rainbow flag’ posts on Facebook this year, a lot more than usual.

A whole load on misinformation there but…..now do one for Catholic Priests. And another for Cub Scouts. Shall we stop those organisations too?

Also it's pride month...Did you not know.. but l love rainbow 🌈 colours and themes all the time..

Exactly can’t we just keep the toxic transphobia to that one board of “enlightened feminists”.

Braver than the cowards though who are the internet trolls, homophobic visitors and strangers who have posted letters through their door asking them to take their flag down.

It's all becoming increasingly sinister since the TQ+ was added... furries, bondage, piss parties, surrogacy demands... no thank you.

Interesting.
I didn't know there was an official version.
I have always just known it as either
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple
OR
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.
Although if you sing the song....
🎵🎶
Red and Yellow and Pink and Green....
Orange and Purple and Blue.
I Can Sing A Rainbow 🎵🎶
(I can't remember the last line)
Gosh this 🌈 malarkey is confusing.

Or, they have evolved with society and understand how wrong they were. I made fun of kids who were thought to be gay, laughed along with the entirely unacceptable jokes etc when I was at school 40 years ago. Thankfully I have grown to understand that was an incredibly shitty thing to do and my prejudice was entirely wrong, not least because my BIL is gay so it would make for an awkward family gathering. I welcome him and my gay friends and work colleagues into my home not because of any bandwagon but because I would be a terrible person if I didn’t.

Ramming views of tolerance and acceptance down people’s throats?

I also don’t see having 1 month to celebrate the community as forcing views. And if people were more tolerant and accepting, then it wouldn’t be needed.

Why is it so hard to celebrate and stand alongside people who are finding their voice.

I agree that there have been people who have used pride for personal agendas and fetishists who have behaved inappropriately - but then they aren’t representative of the majority.

Yes, it fucking does...

They used to sing the rainbow song at my eldest nursery and they are now bisexual.

This is true, I don't think they are linked though before anyone misses the tone of the message.

So colours? Or do you mean rainbows?

Either way, get a life

The OP doesn’t mention Pride just rainbows and that’s precisely what I said too. Kids see rainbows and joy and colour and nothing else you honking weasel.

There isn't Purple in the rainbow, it doesn't have it's own wavelength like Violet does.
Even EYFS curriculum is supposed to teach the real colours of the rainbow in Reception, all 7 of them.
