Is there less Rainbows Pride marketing shizzle this year?

Edgy marketing for the lose - no way I'm using HF after that particular mental image 💩

Just left Hello Fresh after seeing this on Instagram.

It is a race to the bottom (aha, see what I did there?) when it comes to Pride alright. Not really what I want to be thinking about when I'm eating my meals.... 🤮

It's always about cost and profit. They can feed the hens less.
I know times are harder, but please anybody who can, pay the extra and get organic for the welfare of the hens. Xx

The only thing I've seen is Google Play sending a push notification about Happy Pride or something, which I have turned off.
I've just looked at our small town's website to see what joys we're being offered; A display in the precinct and some drag queens, apparently.

I did see that there's a local youth monthly meet up, which is fair enough, except the age range is 13 to 25. 😲

I don't think there's any particular difference between white eggs and brown as regards size or thickness of shell; they just come from different breeds of chicken.

Lidl have recently had white or brown fairly indiscriminately (I have both colours in the fridge at the moment) and honestly they seem pretty-much the same to me.

The only real difference would be that you can paint white ones for Easter and it's harder to do that with speckledy brown ones, but I haven't yet established if the date-stamp comes off when they are boiled, because that has only just occurred to me!

These were my thoughts too. I'm going to get my eggs elsewhere.

The white eggs are the same size as the brown ones so I’d be questioning the birds’ welfare. I’ve noticed the white eggs don’t peel easily from hard boiled compared to the brown ones due to thinner shells.

Nothing obvious in my local Sainsburys today (I don't use the handheld scanners though).

Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce are brandishing the progress flag version of their logo on social media. I don't see this as inclusive. Whenever I see the progress version of the rainbow flag I think of lesbian interveners and why they needed to intervene. It's mindless, and honestly heartless.

I would also suggest it's bad business. Sigh.

This particular woman joined the Gay Liberation Front in the early 1970s to fight against all-too-common horrible behaviour relative to people being homosexual, and was delighted when, in the decades between then and say 2005, lesbians, gays and bisexual people finally got a little help, and even changes to the laws against them, to work to prevent the vile (and too often fatal) prejudice against them.

I am pissed off that the flag which was proudly used by lesbians, gays and bisexuals to defy the vile behaviour of too many people who attacked them has been hijacked to signalise a month devoted to people who are something other than those for whom the rights were hard-won.

I don't hate trans people. I just wish they would do their own thing and stop stealing other people's (be the other people women, gays, or people with DSDs) to further their cause.

No sign of the Holy Month at all in my Tesco and just the rainbow underline thing on the website.
It's interesting that you can find the Pride all year blurb online if you look hard enough. Tesco obviously showing one face to the activists and another to the public who, they have correctly judged, are sick of it.

Our Sainsbury's have now changed the scanners to the rainbow 🙄 It's satisfying though to see that the rainbow shizzle rack is still crammed full and no-one appears to be supporting the chemical castration of children.

But, I have seen the usual "progress" flag logo switch ups on websites, Argos being one of them.

Argos is part of Sainsbury's, has been since 2016, and Sainsbo's is "progress" flag central. I've no idea why. Anyway, plenty of alternatives exist so meh.

Nothing so far in my very small village in Wales, or at the supermarkets in the nearest big town. But, I have seen the usual "progress" flag logo switch ups on websites, Argos being one of them. I wonder if they even think about it anymore, or it's just something they automatically do every June. Tedious, what's the point of it? If you want to show how virtuous you are as a company, you could try not overcharging customers just to make ridiculous profits.

Yes, I wonder if it's regional? In Wales we have (traditionally) tended instinctively to the left, but can be a bit naive about these things...

My very small town is going to have a Pride event this year, which I think is typical for the place: get on a bandwagon that's disappearing over the horizon. It's being run by a pub that gets drag acts in to try and get customers through the door. But it's hardly getting any traction, and they've started a crowdfunder which has raised only £50 (out of a target of £1500).

Tesco celebrate “year round”

It's obviously not making them money. Retailers aren't doing this sort of campaigning and products for any other reason than profit, if it's not profitable, they won't do it any more.

Firstly, it’s not transphobia or homophobia etc for organisations not plaster all public facing logos with flags nor to be happy about that.

Secondly, remind us what ‘acephobia’ is? Afaik ‘Ace’ is the new ‘sexuality’ label where a person experiences no sexual attraction that is being set up for kids that have had their libidos destroyed by puberty blockers so can you explain what ‘acephobia’ would look like?

Previous examples provided by the trans community spokespeople seemed to be someone’s nan asking why they didn’t have a girlfriend yet. Have you got any more?

Good point, I’m not seeing it as much. Although I haven’t got an issue with the LGB side if it.

Er, where did I mention anything at all to do with trans? Or even remotely refer to her opinions on anything to do with people who are trans?

I told you that she knows the definition of progress, nothing more and nothing less. Without sounding like a ridiculous cliche, some of her best friends are trans.

For the first time!! Usually I go and swap to Asdas in pride month. But this time Asdas have a rainbow Asda and Tescos nothing!! Tescos have lost no custom from me this year, I think their sales must’ve dipped significantly due to it.
For those shopping in person my local Lidls and Aldi never do anything/ get involved, I’m not sure if it’s across the country. But I always go there even though it’s a little more inconvenient.

I refuse to buy from the supermarkets that go colourful in pride month, I see the flag and I just feel they’re proudly waving a flag to show their hatred and disregard of girls and women. Why would I give them my money? Thankfully they don’t all do it.

Castrating gay kids isn't progressive. It is actually medieval.

Just in case you were confused.

Call people 'lunatics' for not wanting gay kids castrated and then tell everyone to 'be kind'.

Gotcha!
