Something odd happened at my local supermarket last year during June and in contrast didn't happen this year.

Last year there were a multitude of Pride flags the size of garage doors hanging from the ceiling and each checkout had a flag taped to it around the size of a cooker.

It was very colourful and the intentions are good but it did feel a bit over saturated and corporate.

This year there was just a cardboard stand that talked about how inclusive the group is.

I'm interested to see what they do next year.

With that amount of downsizing they will be hoping for rain next year and a rainbow to form naturally 🌈

Well, hopefully they don't need to do anything next year because inclusivity has been ingrained in their culture by then. And the homophobes are all getting their groceries elsewhere.

Definitely not a moped.

Unless I'm talking to the police.

And it's not registered.
