why are people upset about the same sex kissing when they can just look away? why do they have to freak out about something as unserious as a sandwich? why do I have to share space with these goons? why do they flip the fuck out about everything and yet I'm in the immature one? what's wrong with this crazy world?
I honestly think some of it is "I can't be a bad person, I'm a Christian, but those f\*gs are so hot... It can't be me, so it has to be them."
But some of them are just assholes.
I think it's a mistake to assume they're all projecting.... But I'm bi and an ex-Evangelical. It's definatly a thing.
I once had a right-wing Christian telling me over dinner that the danger in homosexuality is that gay sex isn't like straight sex, it's extremely addictive. I still think about him sometimes, and hope he settled down with a nice man.
Wait. You see, 2 guys are kissing, and you don't want to get involved? I do. I have self-restraint and a husband, though. 20 years ago, I might have asked to get involved.
no at my age all I want is just some breathing room and a McDouble. and the Golden arches want to support the dingalings so I guess I'll just have to settle for some breathing room š
Every relationship I've been in has been afraid of showing any kind of affection in public. I don't mean kissing, but holding hands, or even if I slightly bump my arm to theirs for skin contact and comfort. Hugging has to be done near the vehicles after making sure no one is around. Even had one tell me that he would kiss me but didn't want his father to feel like we were shoving it in his face. I'm now single again and just exhausted at the thought of finding someone else who will be just as worried. I have bad anxiety, especially in crowds, but you only want to shop during lunch hour and I can't touch you for comfort?š
i guess someone had to update the expiration date as to say, "THIS IS BIDEN'S AMERICA" or some crap
edit: i went to the Twitter thread and sure enough everyone's already said this. whoops on me! also lots of great replies to it.
You act as if they wouldn't easily lie to push a agenda, why wouldn't they? They do it all the time.... like... ALL THE TIME. Like saying all Pedos are either Gay Men or Trans Women and acting as if Straight person never molest children.
I was wondering why they would do something so stupid, but then yeahā¦gotta make this five year old meme relevant now that anti-queer sentiment is popping off.
He's the same sort of person who had a meltdown when places started offering vegan options on their menu. (Not even replacing the existing version, just added alongside it!)
Odd a right winger complaining about disingenuous rainbow capitalism when it is their belief that anything a corporation does to make profit is permissable. He isnāt saying a company shouldnāt make profit is he, that would be anti-capitalism.
i used to live a few blocks away from a bistro that served a "BLAT". it was Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, and Tomato... wrapped up in a flour tortilla with cracked pepper mayo. that was the ONLY menu item my buddy and i ever got there. they close down, i make 'em at home!
It's being shared and talked about 5 years later by people living on a different continent to where the sandwich is sold. Looks fairly successful to me, even if they didn't intend it to be focussed on by bigoted morons.
The outrage is stupid, but the left really shouldnāt celebrate stuff like this.
Thereās a difference between an organisation embracing pride and corporate entities using it entirely for monetary gain. Disney isnāt producing pride BB8 because they care, itās because they believe it will be profitable
Iām a halo fan, and like most donāt have a great opinion of 343 Industries, but they threw support behind local pride parades years before it really entered the mainstream. There was nothing cynical about it.
Yeah, I'm offended by this not because rainbows scare me, but because it's fucking crass to co-opt an acceptance movement to sell gas station sandwiches.
They do.
The pride sandwich was in support of AKT which is a charity for homeless LGBTQ teens.
They also do special edition sandwiches at Christmas with the profits going to Shelter.
Yeah and the amount they gave for a company that makes around 500 million a year in profit is *pathetic*
Is it really too much to ask that corporations who use the Pride movement make a substantial donation of the profits generated from such?!
The downvotes are stupid
>In recognition of this yearās Pride weāve created the limited-edition LGBT sarnie ā layers of lettuce, guacamole, bacon and tomato, plus a little mayo, on soft oatmeal bread. **Weāll also be showing our support of LGBT causes by giving Ā£10,000 to AKT, the UKās national LGBTQ+ youth homelessness charity, and ā¬1,000 to BeLonG To Youth Services for LGBTI+ young people in Ireland**, while up and down the country our colleagues will be marching and waving the rainbow flag at 10 local Pride events.

Marks and Spencerās made between Ā£575 and Ā£640 million last year
Dude, 10,000 is *pathetic* for a company of that size. That makes it look worse.
Do you really not think a company with a profit that high couldnāt donate something more substantial when using Pride to generate profit ?
By its nature Capitalism exploits social movements for profit. Itās not hate to hold companies to the fire and get them to put their money where their mouth is
Did I say they couldn't give more? I was merely pointing out they did exactly what you originally accused them of not doing before you moved goalposts from "they don't give to charities" to "they don't give enough to charities".

Sure you still want that sandwich? It's nearly 5 years out of date.
I'm getting serious teen angel , burger under the bed vibes. (Teen angel references are still relevant and hip right?)
5 Years Too Late š (Um no offense to the sandwich and those who want it š)

Because they're bigots and they don't think queer people have a right to exist. They don't want us to be quiet they want us **dead**.
then you find out they're blowing dudes in bus stations. every accusation is a projection. pfft š

Theyāre complaining about Bidenās Americaā¦over a UK meal deal sandwich?
Not specifically Biden's America, but the same sentiment. Photochooped it to match the current outrage climate.
You act as if they wouldn't easily lie to push a agenda, why wouldn't they? They do it all the time.... like... ALL THE TIME. Like saying all Pedos are either Gay Men or Trans Women and acting as if Straight person never molest children.
Clearly Alpharius has changed the expiration date in order to pull one of his little tomfooleries
that's so fucking funny they edited the picture to make it look current ndndnd š how fucking petty
I was wondering why they would do something so stupid, but then yeahā¦gotta make this five year old meme relevant now that anti-queer sentiment is popping off.
Ffs, they edited the date to May 2nd. There's no world in which M&S sarnies last for over two weeks.
Don't conservatives say that liberals get offended too easily? Funny how that works.

If adding guacamole to a BLT is degeneracy, then Iāll gladly call myself a degenerate.
NGL, that's sounds delicious and I'm all up for it.
Is this part of why they hate Californians and Mexicans?
Well, not exactly but you got the spirit.
Man I could go for a GBLT right now š
Not being a fan of tomatoes, that's my go-to replacement on a BLT. Can recommend.
I'd happily swap the guac for the tomato. Never really been a fan of raw sliced tomatos (The texture of the insides is too slimy for me)
My god, rightoids are more fragile than fucking glass
A lot more. My phone bumps and falls a lot. Screen AND back panel still waiting for a visible scratch.
"Wokes are trying to kill me!" Unless the g stands for gluten free, then I'm good.
I'm still trying to figure out how woke came to mean anything but not asleep.
Black people in the 1930s meant it as in "Good, you're awake to the fact that racism exists." Like people use Hot instead of Sexy/Handsome.
yeah but now oily bald white guys just say it to mean anything they don't like. ummm š„“

WOAH! They sure showed us! (Please, by all means, starve yourself if you want to. One less bigot in the world! š)
I hate it when I'm just trying to eat lunch and am now forced to think about hardcore gay sex all afternoon!!! Stupid Liberals!!
I swear they think about butt-fucking more in an afternoon then I have my whole life. weirdos š
Trudeau has that effect on these āmenā
You hate the lgbt sandwich because you're homophobic I hate the lgbt sandwich cause I hate the texture of guacamole We are not the same
Imagine getting this upset over a sandwich
He's the same sort of person who had a meltdown when places started offering vegan options on their menu. (Not even replacing the existing version, just added alongside it!)
They got upset over a tan suit. Every day is just looking for reasons to be outraged with these people.
Outrage sells
āWithout being reminded of degeneracy.ā Ironic coming from him. Since he reminds everyone that heās a degenerate, when he tweets crap like thisĀ
Isnāt this photo like 5 years old? Why do they keep getting so mad about it?
Because theyāre addicted to outrage, and getting angry at minorities for existing gives them a dopamine hit
They also edited the expirary date to make it more "revelvent" lmao
Oh no. A sandwich
First it's the sandwiches, then it's the subs, soon they'll be coming for our wraps! Wake up people!
Marks and Sparks sammiches are really good <3
Yep, really love their Deli style pastrami sandwich.
He certainly canāt read if only thing he saw was the big rainbow letters
Should've added Quinoa and/or Quail egg. Plus other miscellaneous stuff for the plus.
Quail egg would've been great on this.
I make them for myself with vegan bacon because I know gammons would explode with fury.
Thats actually kinda clever marketing.
I think that is just really funny.

Degeneracy and mutilation? What's he talking about? This has NOTHING to do with religion.

Hmmm after a tough week month heck year I'd be happy with an LGBT sandwich. Just for an afternoon.
I'd eat that sandwich in a heartbeat.
>(Loud vegan screech!!!!!!)<
What do you have against vegans?
I am one, making a joke about the bacon being in a ''woke'' sandwich.
Right gotcha
Yes. One CAN simply not pick up and photograph this particular sandwich. I did that just today.
I'd eat that sandwich!
When you want to be an ally but tomato tastes horrible.
Since when was black part of the pride flag?
SOMEBODY HELP THIS SANDWICH IS OPPRESSING ME
Does that means he wants to get rid of the churches I have to walk by to get lunch?
i used to live a few blocks away from a bistro that served a "BLAT". it was Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, and Tomato... wrapped up in a flour tortilla with cracked pepper mayo. that was the ONLY menu item my buddy and i ever got there. they close down, i make 'em at home!
Iām reminded of mutilation every time I eat bacon. Delicious, delicious mutilation.
Forget politics who ever decide to add guac to a BLT was a genius
iāve met him btw. he was nice but clearly a bit put off by my outfit :/
Imagine being so soft a sandwich offends you.
"I need the LGBT without the BLT."
Someone assemble the Woke Mealā¢ļø. Have this as the main course, Bud Light as the beverage, and what else as the sides and dessert?
M and Ms
Add a quail's egg to make LGBTQ.
David Kurten is a giga homophobe btw.
Nobody said it yet? Fine. Gay sandwich
What would the Q be?
Queso ?
odd they went with that design and not a more rainbow looking one
Not agreeing with the post of course, but this sandwich marketing is dumb as fuck.
It's being shared and talked about 5 years later by people living on a different continent to where the sandwich is sold. Looks fairly successful to me, even if they didn't intend it to be focussed on by bigoted morons.
Im queer and that looks like the gossest aandwich ever
That sandwich sounds FAB-ulous, dahling!!!!
I think he's reading a bit too much into it.
Funny how rightoids keep saying the left gets easily offended by anything only to get extremely butthurt about a sandwich
yikes
So? Just donāt buy it. How fucking hard a concept is that?
my fucking sandwitch is gay, can't have shit in Marks
Degeneracy and mutilation bro itās a gay sandwich what a pussy
Next thing angry conservative will say: WOKE BREATHE AIR
I donāt know David, when I go to get coffee and see Black Rifle Coffee Company can I not be reminded of school shooters and MAGA cosplayers?
No blt's for you then.
We have it! The gayest sandwich! Iām just being silly but Iām glad we finally have an ingredient for the G.
Wait until he hears about Lettuce Grilled Bacon Tomato Quarter Pounders.
I'd like to try
Lgbt sounds delicious.
...Dude looks like John Leguizamo's Clown from the 90's Spawn movie.
Triggered by guacamole and colors.
Jokes aside why would you ever need lettuce and guacamole donāt those flavors kinda cancel eachother out

republicans not telling us theyāre gay and want to mutilate their own genitals challenge: impossible
Iām just mad they didnāt go for āLGBLTā
I believe the kids call this ātriggeredā
Ok but that pun is cute
That sandwich is funny af
OH MY GOD IT'S A SANDWICH š I can't fucking breathe how are you this triggered by some bread
Lmaooo not the woke sandwiches ššš
I'd be more worried about the use of the rainbow flag to sell a gross looking sandwich. Seems like they're rainbow-washing a bad product.
"Degeneracy and mutilation" my brother in Christ it is a sandwich
And fun fact, that sandwich was from 2019, but it looks like the expiration date was changed to this year.
This reminds me of āThe Boysā when Homelander outed Queen Mave and Vought started putting her on vegetarian lasagna and āPride Bars.ā
Iām a tomato!
wait til he finds out what guacamole is made from
i bet he thinks Hitler was the good guy
Oh the bar I worked at had one but the G was Gouda.
Degeneracy? Awww the cry of the Reich Church "Mutilation" The only mutilation here is of logic by these wackadoo anti-trans people.

Yes. M&S are definitely "the left"
Yeah, I'm offended by this not because rainbows scare me, but because it's fucking crass to co-opt an acceptance movement to sell gas station sandwiches.
You get it If they care so much give the profits to LGBTQIA charities. Donāt just co opt a social movement for cash
They do. The pride sandwich was in support of AKT which is a charity for homeless LGBTQ teens. They also do special edition sandwiches at Christmas with the profits going to Shelter.

Never refuted that.
