Rainbow colours everywhere

[TalkToTheHand123]

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?

It's all becoming increasingly sinister since the TQ+ was added... furries, bondage, piss parties, surrogacy demands... no thank you.

Braver than the cowards though who are the internet trolls, homophobic visitors and strangers who have posted letters through their door asking them to take their flag down.

Exactly can’t we just keep the toxic transphobia to that one board of “enlightened feminists”.

Also it's pride month...Did you not know.. but l love rainbow 🌈 colours and themes all the time..

A whole load on misinformation there but…..now do one for Catholic Priests. And another for Cub Scouts. Shall we stop those organisations too?

There does seem to be alot of ‘look at us, we’re flying a rainbow flag’ posts on Facebook this year, a lot more than usual.

I saw a train liveried in rainbow colours today. I don't object to the principle, but the average cost of re-liverying a train is at least £20k, which is a lot to spend when they charge a fortune for tickets and still can't run a reliable service.

Detail exactly what's not true please.

With a massive swing from 8% to 29% republican voting means it isn’t the inclusive utopia you think it is.

I saw a nice one in Germany, where the Deutsche Bahn red stripe was replaced with a rainbow one. Of course, the majority of the train was still grey, wonder if it was a metaphor 😆

What is the problem with people who have been historically oppressed celebrating their difference? Just live and let live ffs

Happy Pride Month!

I honestly haven’t noticed many rainbows locally. The only thing that made me roll my eyes was my child’s senior school doing a whole load of virtue signalling online. Someone did have a go at them online over the trans aspect which I thought was brave considering the possible backlash.

Agreed. Our fire station used to fly the rainbow being eaten by the trans triangle all year round which I felt was excessive. This year they've more sensibly been flying the Fire Service flag. But this month they're flying the old Pride rainbow. I see this as progress.

I went to our local city Pride today to perform as part of entertainment. There was still a lot of trans focus including badges saying 'No Terfs' 🙄 but also lots of plain rainbows on show. There was also a separate 'Trans Pride' event a couple of weeks ago so maybe they sense the LGB are getting tired of them. Or maybe they're just greedy and need ALL the parades.

I suspect it’s because everyone claims oppression now. There’s a general weariness at the victimhood everywhere. Even my teen comes home and said everyone at school is always offended. Words are literal violence, rules are oppression, consequences are injustice. I can’t imagine what it must be like to work in a secondary school right now.

Is it really beyond you? You cannot understand why teaching acceptance, inclusion and representation to small children is needed? You are exactly why it's needed actually, you've proved them right!

You do know that theres plenty of straight people also doing all of that

Exactly! Pride is overrun with straight people these days. That's the whole fucking problem. TQ+ is literally nothing to do with LGB.

Pride is about sexuality and love. Unless those guys are having sex with cars its not a fair comparision. How do you imagine straight men would celebrate straight sex and love?

Red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

Richard of York gave battle in vain. That's how we remembered the colours at school.
I always thought the song version was nonsense, seeing as where the heck is pink in a rainbow?! 😁

I've never had a 'surrogacy demand' at Pride. What does that look like? Do two gay guys come up to you with a full syringe, a ball gag and a contract?

I want the rainbow back where it belongs

I've always found that Richard of York thing harder to remember than the colours 😂
(you missed out orange.....🍊)

In the sky?
Still happens after a rainy moment 😂

Ah, yet another thread where the OP tries to stir up a bit of controversy then never returns.
