Pink News says new LGB Alliance branding means that are aligned to Straight Pride

It's nice to have a bit of humour every now and again, and as we know Pink News is not the court jester of identity politics!

Quote from LGB Alliance facebook page:

Pink News asked us to have a chat the other day. We were delighted. Unfortunately they got a few things very wrong. They say that having black & white branding means that we are aligned to "Straight Pride" - anyone heard of it? - and Change UK. Strange. If we follow their reasoning we are also closely aligned to Apple, Chanel, Nike, World Wildlife Fund, Prada and Disney (and zebras, zebra crossings, penguins and pandas). Confused?

If any wants and can be bothered this is the Pink News story (story rather than news) www.pinknews.co.uk/news/uk/

Tuxedo cats are transphobia!

Doesn't calling it 'Pink' News just reinforce the tired stereotypes that gay men like pink, pretty things and are effeminate?

Oh, and also, let’s remember that intersex people literally exist.

Sounds like the ramblings of an over emotional 14 year old Grin

Call out to all black and white entities for a group law suit now.

DickKerrLadies · 29/12/2019 15:05

I'm guessing they haven't seen Beetlejuice?

ThePankhurstConnection · 29/12/2019 15:04

Don’t forget the badgers.

How could I? Or black and white cats and magpies ... - Jeez this 'inclusivity' is such hard work.

DickKerrLadies · 29/12/2019 15:03

Quick - burn all the penguin books!

Mmmm they are all over Facebook saying this on their page. Who knew black and white were exclusive to just one design company.

When are they suing the penguins, skunks and zebras for copyright?

Has anyone alerted the highways agency to let them know that zebra crossings are now a problem?

Ginandsonic · 28/12/2019 23:18

Pretty sure the black and white stripes mean they are fans of Newcastle United football club

GeordieTerf · 28/12/2019 22:29

Could Pink News be reported to IPSO for this? If so, I'm definitely up for making a complaint.

Mary Quant has SO MUCH TO ANSWER FOR.

I think she was a t-RF.

I think her fringe counts as T*RF bangs - the original and best

I'm sure I read about a study where they tested the genes of a proportion of people transitioning at the Tavistock and all were boring old XX or XY.

Hopefully someone else will have a link to that study.

AyeRobot · 28/12/2019 20:06

The actual science thing surely means that it won't be long until testing is available so the weeding out of the purely self iders (for whatever reason) is an actual thing.

Fabulous.

Their actual literal proof that there are more than 2 sexes is the scientific American blog piece that claims its not that simple, but can still only list 2 types of sex organ.

DickKerrLadies · 28/12/2019 19:24

Oh bloody hell, stumbled I actually thought that was you paraphrasing the article but no - they actually used those words!!!

"actual science"

Well, that's cheered me up!

They should make sure to stretch properly before reaching like that, they might pull something.

Thelnebriati · 27/12/2019 22:50

And they said this with a straight face?

OhHolyJesus · 27/12/2019 22:49

I can't give them the traffic - a new year resolution started early - so thanks for the summary OP.

What an absolute joke, seriously they are the internet news equivalent of a stroppy teenager, will say anything to get attention.

Fraggling · 27/12/2019 22:38

'The similarity of the new ‘LGB Alliance’ colour scheme to both the Straight Pride flag and to Change UK’s logo is coincidental.

But the similarities are so obvious that people can’t stop pointing them out.'

🤣🤣🤣

Thanks op that piece is comedy gold
