Sunak and Johnson sit tight and hope for the best as UK's economic problems mount 14 June, 2022 All the best people are flawed, so why do we chase perfection? 14 June, 2022 Boris Johnson's demolition of the Northern Ireland Protocol is hypocrisy run wild 14 June, 2022 It’s a symbol, if anything, for the Pride rainbow colours being so overused, that they’ve been emptied of all meaning. Either you can try in vain to unpack the deeply confusing symbolism here, or accept that no thought went into it whatsoever. An empty gesture which transcended parody this month, when the US Marines shared a Pride post via their official Twitter account, featuring a soldier’s helmet adorned with six bullets in the colours of the rainbow. It’s an opportunity to show off your “gay friendly” credentials, in one giant rainbow-painted empty gesture. It perfectly expresses the pandering, uneducated tone of almost every corporation in the Western world during the cursed month of June.Īt this point, Pride is basically for straight people. We are sashaying away with deals.” The line “Hi gay” quickly became a meme in itself, has made a reappearance this year and has – I comfortably predict – set the tone for every future Pride month, until the collapse of civilisation. In it, she plays the part of a “butter shop” owner, awkwardly trying to appeal to queer customers for Pride. In June last year, a video by American comedian Meg Stalter went viral on social media. If we could – for one moment – set aside their part in the UK’s housing crisis (homelessness disproportionately affects LGBTQ+ people, by the way) they have, according to this email, committed themselves to safe spaces for said people, and created a rainbow flower display outside their Sloane Square branch.
My Pride month this year kicked off with a press release from Foxtons the estate agent.
