Gay: News, Memes and Discussion
Welcome to /c/Gay - Your LGBTQ+ Haven
We're more than just a community; we're your haven for celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and connecting with like-minded individuals.
Community Rules:
~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Obligatory "Fuck the Tories" but honestly what do they think this will achieve? It's just some rainbow lanyards and posters that say the services are inclusive. Those posters are already printed. They aren't going in and taking them down. Similarly the staff aren't just going to hand over their rainbow lanyards and say "oh well, time to chuck them on the bonfire"
I get the sense that this is all just a PR move. Tories de-funding the NHS is a tale as old as Thatcher and this type of story probably plays well with their base demographic of "American Idiot" style Brits. They know it's an election year and they know they need to get that TERF vote. Something like this will play well on ~~Twitter~~ X.
It's a pointless move, but it helps them in their aim of adopting America's anti-woke culture war rhetoric.
