@ArtieFufkinPolymerRecords
Rainbows have been drawn by children and feature in children’s rhymes and stories long before it became an LGBT symbol.

I hope that in future we can go back to any of us having rainbows on clothes etc. without people assuming it's a statement about LGBT. I have no issue with anyone's sexuality, but if I like a t-shirt with a rainbow on that's why I'm wearing it, nothing else.

Yes!!! Totally agree.

Don't know about phrases but I would quite like my management to kindly stop taking credit for my ongoing hardwork whilst repeating the important information I gave to them in the morning back to me in the afternoon like it was all their idea.

No? Just me then. Hmm

Oscarsdaddy · 14/04/2020 18:21

Something I never want to hear again but sadly I think it’s going to become a way of life for years to come
