Rainbow colours everywhere

Rainbows everywhere. Hi. I walked into the office building yesterday and rainbow stuff everywhere. Nearby nursery has all rainbow colours on fencing and there was an ambulance with rainbow colours. A bit ridiculous?

Convincing 🙄

You seriously trying to suggest it is implausible with all the wokery going on? You have whole roles and departments for diversity.

Still doesn’t mean straight people are being discriminated against!

Wokery? So helping marginalised groups is wrong? What a horrible outlook.

What has ‘gone too far’?

You’re just trotting out tired old tropes now - it’s embarrassing.

Just because it is repetition does not make the point any less valid. It is overboard, but fortunately people are waking up and standing up to it. Hopefully they will tone it down to a much more acceptable level.

Again, what you’re writing is meaningless. It’s just words with no actual evidence.

What has gone ‘overboard’. What needs ‘toning down’? What is at an unacceptable level?

There is no substance behind what you are saying.

I’ve asked you and others what ‘ramming it down your throat/neck’ actually means in practice? Funnily enough nobody ever responds because they’re just repeating what they’ve heard other people say and decided to jump on the bandwagon without thinking about what they’re saying.

Every single one of your posts is a sweeping statement with zero evidence to support any one of your points.

TLDR - you’re talking bollocks.

Do you not feel that the LGB+ community have heterosexuality ‘forced down their throats’ all the time?

I've been in meeting where I've been asked indirectly to recommend people from groups of people like these to help promote the business's diversity image.

That just makes sure people who are not white middle aged straight men are considered. Which includes - you!

This just shows you don't know what diversity means and what it does. I work in a mental health Trust. And yes, we have people who have a diversity role. However, this is always alongside a clinical role. Understanding people's background and culture allows clinicians to deliver care that is appropriate and effective for that particular person. Honestly, this shouldn't be rocket science.

More and more your posts are becoming a parade of right right wing cliches.

Which is a total waste of money just to pander to the woke brigade so they can all pat themselves on the back even if it costs lives.

What would an acceptable level look like for you? I think it would be helpful to understand what your idea of the perfect amount of diversity and equality looks like and therefore how what we have today is excessive

You're right! Let's follow the US and remove all women and BME people from senior positions of power and the armed forces, then flood the streets with armed immigration officers (right wing militants with nazi tats), that'll totally make everyone safer and put things to rights. We can all see how well that's going and how people are so much happier for it. If you want to see decisions that cost lives, look no further.

I'm being facetious obvs, but if nige and his lot get in that's exactly what will happen. We're seeing it play out over in America bc people deceided the left-wing and wokeness were the cause of everything bad, that could so easily happen over here if we knee-jerk to voting far-right just bc we're fed up and listen to all the lies. Oh, and you can say goodbye to the NHS if his lot get in, fancy paying a bill every time you need to see the doctor? Nige won't care, he's got his pay-offs to see him right.

Indeed. I think the OP is on the wind up as they’re literally just repeating well known, worn out phrases with zero substance behind them.

Why don’t you answer questions?
What is an acceptable level of promotion?
Who is in danger?
What does ‘ramming it down people’s throats’ actually mean?

@TalkToTheHand123 I have just realised.... despite living in the massive city of London I have only seen ONE official Pride flag flying. I only noticed it because I was looking up at the sky for (ironically) rain clouds.
I expect there is more but because I don't go looking I don't notice them.
Your thread has gone very weird.
You are claiming very odd things with no back up (medical treatment denied - really ?).
You don't like Pride.
So what.
Just IGNORE IT.
