“Abigail, your straight privilege is showing,” said Emilia.Ī whole month.? So no one cares about a purple poppy literally remembering HORSES that died, but when it comes to the likes of LGBTQ men and women (such as Alan Turing, Wilfred Owen maybe?!?) who had monumental impact in the wars… suddenly it’s wrong? Smells like homophobia ‘a whole month dedicated to them’ ? really ? Maybe this seller is just remembering the lgbtq+ soldiers who have fought for our country?ģ. This is literally a random ebay listingĢ. I’m sorry straight people get the entire year?”ġ. Nevertheless, the discussion prompted by people’s attempts to cut the poppy down, in effect, emphasised the need for the poppy itself.įor example, Heidi highlighted: “Wow a whole month – incredible. But those soldiers apparently don’t deserve respect? Give OVER. Wow, solidarity to those soldiers who were too afraid to come out in times like this because of homophobia. Some users, such as Alexander, stressed that the rainbow poppy is simply an eBay listing and not “an official gays trying to take over Remembrance Day”. “I wonder if she thinks everyone who has ever fought in the war was straight?” wondered Erwotin. I can’t walk down the street holding hands with a guy but it’s okay because I “get a whole month”? Seems a little like you’ve luckily found ONE EBay listing which has given you enough of an opportunity to rant against LGBTQ people?♂️ but you do you hun x Multiple users swiftly schooled Abigail: “You sound homophobic and you’re inducing in poppy police activity,” wrote Marcus. ‘Abigail, your straight privilege is showing’: Users give LGBT+ history masterclass
The two documented the torment of both the battle itself and sustaining outlawed love in the trenches of the First World War. Or people might learn of poets and soldiers Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. Other history lessons might include how queer people were banned from openly serving in the UK armed forces up until 2000. He was later chemically castrated after being convicted of ‘gross indecency’ in 1952 for having sex with a man. So is everybody purposely ignoring the fact it’s for Alan Turing lol it’s 2019 Google exists
UK REMEMBRANCE POPPY CRACKED
The month referenced by critics could be Pride Month, or may refer to LGBT+ History Month, commonly celebrated in schools around the country in February.Ĭlasses might range from Alan Turing, a gay codebreaker who cracked the German enigma codes who is widely believed to have helped end the Second World War earlier than expected, saving millions of lives.
Soldiers who died and fought for us have one MINUTE a year. Pride has a whole month to raise awareness. I’m not in anyway homophobic, but this is getting beyond! the RED poppy is in memory of ALL soldiers during the war. Why am I seeing rainbow poppies being made, not to be rude but there is a whole month dedicated to the LGBT community, can the heroes that fought for our country have the ONE day to be remembered without it being about sexuality. “Let the people who fought for their country have that one day to themselves, do not even try to make it about sexuality.”Ĭassie and Caith had a similar stance, emphasising how LGBT+ folk have a “whole month”: Abigail agreed, similarly stating: “Hate me, but LGBTQ+ have a whole month dedicated them, for once in your f***ing lives think about other people and stop making everything about sexuality.
