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?

Well my irony meter just exploded

the beautiful rainbow was ruined by pride (as pride is now anyway)... I didn't even used to mind pride (attended myself once), until it got taken over by gender identity ideology which I don't believe in. now I have to see reminders of what I basically think of as hardcore misogyny and compelled speech everywhere...

Well we live in a democracy and all have to tolerate what we don’t want to see- Reform propaganda anyone. Many, many others don’t agree with your views on Pride and value it hugely.

You might need to talk to a therapist about your hatred of anything colorful. And there are young people who couldn't be bribed to watch a black and white movie no matter how great it is. I don't understand these views at all.

Maybe because being a disabled person,carer volunteer etc have never been a criminal offence that had to be kept quiet otherwise you would be arrested?

Our Reform led council have removed the rainbow flag from the town hall 🙁

How did pass you by, given your commitment to disabled activism? It wasn’t mentioned at any of the charities for which you volunteer or by any of your many friends with disabilities? It didn’t come up in your many networks of people commited to representing and supporting people with disabilities?

Assuming of course that you’re interested in and committed to the rights of disabled people not just engaging in embarrassing whatsaboutery whilst being too lazy even to google.

I wouldn't mind if it was just a little promotion but it feels like people ramming it down people's necks. OTT wokery and looking very tacky.

To be honest, I think your reaction is a bit tame. I get our old black and white tv out of the loft every time we watch The Wizard of Oz and we watch it all the way through like that. We fast forward "Somewhere over the rainbow" too. This is what commitment to a true cause really looks like.

Pleasantville! One of my favourite films. Nobody else I know has ever heard of it 😁

It’s a cause? Say more.

It's the "Anti light reflecting, refracting and dispersing" movement, which has close ties with the "Anti interaction of light, matter, and the human eye" faction of the Order of the Black and White Only Supremacy.

My bingo card is now full!

We’ve got ‘ramming it down people’s necks’ ( please explain how displaying a flag does this)
OTT
Tacky
Wokery

What do I win?

Great list but you missed “Paint the whole world with a rainbow” Rainbow

Joyful!

So they bave Reform stopping pride and Labour attacking GC thinking. The lesbian citadel of Hebden needs to rise in the north!

Could we launch an army of Mumsnetters to help game of thrones style flags everywhere 🇬🇱

It's the same in Barnsley.

But they don't have a stranglehold on our institutions. They don't have obligatory posters, flags and lanyards in our public institutions and they don't have tax payer funded parades funded.

I wonder why? 🤔

I don't do activism, sadly haven't got the energy or physicality any more, I volunteer when I can for very small charities, we are not big organisations, struggling to just do what we can.

Sadly true.

I’m sending best wishes to all LGB people, and asking the sex-fetishists to give the rest of us a break.

You win all the tacky bunting.

Exactly

Fabulous. I’ll add it to my collection.

I notice that you didn’t answer the question about how it’s ’ramming It down people’s throats’. TBH it sounds like you’re just trotting out phrases you’ve seen elsewhere without thinking about what it actually means.

Can we do away with all the tacky Union Jack bunting and flags too?

@TalkToTheHand123 oh you came back.
I will tell you a secret about how to handle seeing rainbow flags that you don't like.....
You ignore them.
That's it.
