A whistleblower has spoken to Lesbian and Gay News saying that Lush reversed a decision to fund groups to support young lesbians as they feared bullying and harassment from trans activists.

Feared the reaction from Trans activists. Yep.

Homophobic cowards.

Funny how homophobia is now fashionable among the people who call feminists bigoted.

Yeah, I stopped buying Lush a while ago. There are plenty of nicer products that don’t come with a big helping of homophobia, misogyny and regressive stereotypes.

Their comments about lesbians are disgusting and I wish someone would prosecute them personally.

Pathetic cowards.

Misogynistic homophobia behind a sickly sweet exterior. Ugh.

Still, I guess that is another couple of organisations for women that people may now get to know about and want to donate to.

They're such a grim company - fake smells, fake values with a centre core of lesbophobia running throughout.

I used to buy their stuff as a treat but not bought anything since they started accusing women defending their rights of being transphobic.

I actually like Lush products (putting me in the minority, I know) and also bought them often as gifts, but I vowed they'd get another penny from me after they said they'd refuse to serve women wearing t-shirts with a dictionary definition of the word 'woman'. I can't say I've regretted my decision.

Cowards. I saw this on Twitter

Although they allowed extreme porn advocate "Jane Fae"/John Ozimek to come in and talk to customers about censoring the press

A reminder of the previous thread of Lush handing out breast binders to young girls in their Paddington store without parents knowledge or consent, a massive safeguarding failure
