Woolworths SA refuses to back down from supporting Pride Month

[LoadShedder]

People mostly aren't. It's been explained numerous times. Someone here posted a meme of two girls, one with a giant brass instrument which pretty accurately depicts this.

In that case wouldn't the girl with the giant brass instrument be religious beliefs? Woolworths celebrates Christmas, Eid, Easter, Ramadaan etc with much bigger displays than a mannequin in a rainbow shirt.

I'm glad to see more LGB people distancing themselves from the TQIA+ crowd.

What is TQIA+ ?

There is no religious beliefs pushed by a decorated tree or chocolate eggs, unless your religion is consumerism. I have never seen anything for eid or ramadaan.

No.

Yes you get it. None of these displays push any belief. They just want to sell products. This time, instead of chocolate egg it's rainbow shirt. I just don't see how this is gonna make anybody gay.

Why would it make anyone gay? And was that the argument put forward by those against this? That it would make you gay?

Not gonna go through the whole thread but "this is turning the kids gay" is a common argument on this thread.

Don't think the gay, lesbian part matter much , the grooming part is what upsets people and rightly so

Leave the kids alone

There are plenty of kids being mutilated and people telling kids that they have to decide for themselves. You feel like a girl let's permanently change you.
You shall not drink alcohol but it's okay to permanently alter your body...

[...]

Your rainbow symbol is harming a lot of people.

If your argument is that it's just kinda annoying then fine, it's easy to avoid the 2 mannequins in a corner in the clothing section of Woolworths. I don't even see them when I'm shopping in the food section.

There is as much symbolism in a chocolate egg as there is in a rainbow shirt

They don't bother me, I just wonder why the constant need for Pride days and pride months and pride festivals.

Much less people care about that. Reminds me of that joke about how do you know someone is vegan? They'll fcken tell you.

Yeah that's fine, finding gays and vegans annoying is not illegal. It's just interesting that MyBBers don't get so worked up about Woolworths selling soy milk and veggie patties.

They are only annoying when everything is an act of activism or awareness. Otherwise they're no more annoying than anyone else.

Food has actually got nothing to do with this. I was only referring to a vegan joke because it's well known but the idea is the same. I could probably have used a crossfit joke in exactly the same way.

You seem to have a balanced and fair view on this issue then. Respect for that.

A lot of MyBBers on this thread don't share your view however since there's no 42 page thread about how annoying crossfitters are. This one particular group seems to have hit a nerve in the MyBB community.

They've hit a nerve for almost the same reason: attention. Not really activism as they're not considered a victimized group by themselves.

Tone down the in-your-face activism about perceived opinions from others that are probably not true, many will simply carry on with life, not caring what you are today.

The word "Propaganda" is used too easily and freely, just a gay kiss in a movie could be labelled as "propaganda" - it's effectively simply become another word for something people do not like.

"Propaganda" is a cop-out word. The reality is it's demonic!

They are performing witchcraft at these LGBTQ "gatherings"!

You asking me to be an ally is comparable to
Me asking you to accept Jesus into your life.

Just no thank you. I do not wish to support your cult.

I do not care if you are gay. Good for you, if you are. I hope you have fun and enjoy life. If you think you need my approval or me to be an ally that is a you problem.

LGBTQ as a political ideology is extremely toxic victim identity politics. It is an alliance of supposedly marginalized victim groups. It is explicitly divisive as it pits these victim groups against normal people and it is explicitly sexual as it all about who you have sex with.

Then they demand special trans rights and nonsense. You do not deserve special rights. You deserve the same rights everyone else. And you already have that. You are free to have sex with any consenting adult just like everyone else and enter into a civil union to simulate being married.

So what more do you want?
I am not joining your cult.
No you cannot groom kids, as your ideology is explicitly sexual, you should leave kids out of it.

Have any of the woke brigade here on MyBB in the hundreds of posts condemned the grooming of kids

It's a mix.
We get the standard leftist argument of:
"Its not happening, but if you catch us it is a good thing, whatabout the catholic church."

And surprisingly someone I did not consider part of the woke brigade kept on arguing for teenagers to be included in things like pride.

 

[capd]

I'm curious, how does LGBTQ propaganda work?

Are they trying to make people gay?
Are they asking for any rights that other people don't already have?

How does the airtime to LGBTQ content compare to religious content?

Heterosexuality is just as sexual as bisexuality or homosexuality. It's literally in the name. Maybe you should stop grooming the kids.
