Rainbow bench in churchyard must be repainted

The bench was apparently painted in rainbow colours to show support for the NHS. Now a church court has ordered that it's repainted in its original brown colour to protect the “thoughts, feelings and emotions of all users of the churchyard”.
This has made me think of those colourful police cars and ambulances which people going through terrible experiences are being faced with.

Good.

I hate the fucking rainbow.

I associate it 100% with Stonewall now, which I realise isn't so here, but I saw it and just thought 'Stonewall'. And sadly Stonewall = anti women, therefore the rainbow = anti women.

If I sat there, I'd probably fart on it.

I fucking hated all that rainbow/flagellate yourself at the alter of the nhs shite.

Most of it just virtue signalling and passive-aggressiveness - ie. We've painted this in rainbow colours/stuck a huge rainbow flag here and if you object you are clearly anti nhs and/or homophobic. Yuck.

Hear hear! Even people on here have to get in 'I'm nhs' even if totally unrelated to the topic. Does my head in

Good. Sounds like the repainted bench will be much more appropriate.

To be fair, colourful fading outdoor paint looks absolutely shit.

Good, if for no other reason than it looks hideous and not in keeping with a graveyard.
