People Are OUTRAGED Over an ‘LGBT’ Sandwich

Another day, another reason to be devastatingly offended, am I right?

Marks and Spencer, a U.K. store was TRYING to do something “cute” for pride. It majorly backfired.

Now the retailer is getting SLAMMED for their “misguided” LGBT sandwich.

According to Fox News:

In celebration of Pride festivities in the U.K., Marks and Spencer recently began offering its “LGBT” sandwich — a guacamole-inclusive twist on a BLT — complete with packaging decorated with the colors of the rainbow flag.

So like… it might seem kinda gimmicky, but they’re trying to show support right?

WRONG.

This is EVIL AND OFFENSIVE.

But despite praise from some within the LGBTQI+ communities, the item raised more than a few eyebrows on Twitter, with some accusing the retailer of marginalizing the community and culture.

“Shame on the good folks over at @marksandspencer for turning our culture and identity into a sandwich,” one woman wrote. ”Making an absolute mockery of lgbtq people,” she added.

It’s a mockery?

Really?

It’s a damn sandwich. Chill out.

“I identify as #lesbian @marksandspencer[,] not a f—ing lettuce,” wrote another critic. “Why don’t you make an ethnic minority or disability sandwich while you’re at it!!”

OMG LESBIAN AND LETTUCE BOTH START WITH “L” AND THIS IS OFFENSIVE.

Others, meanwhile, likened Marks and Spencer’s marketing move as “propaganda” or an attempt to profit off the LGBTQ community.

The propaganda continues.

This one is from Marks & Spencer . The Lettuce, Guacamole, Bacon + Tomato sandwich.

A representative for Marks and Spencer did not comment on the response to its sandwiches, but the retailer has released a statement detailing the charitable contributions Marks and Spencer is making in honor of Pride.

“M&S has an amazing LGBTQ+ colleague network and with them we’ll be celebrating Pride 2019. For the second year running, we have created a sandwich as part of the celebrations and have received great feedback from both colleagues and customers,” a spokesperson confirmed in a statement obtained by Fox News.

“Alongside this, we’re also donating £10,000 to [The Albert Kennedy Trust,] the national LGBTQ+ Youth Homelessness charity.”

A statement obtained by The Sun also confirmed the chain would be donating 1,000 Euro to BeLonG To Youth Services, a charity supporting LGBTQ youth in Ireland.

My thoughts? It’s virtue-signaly and dumb.

But offensive?

PLEASE.

I truly believe these people get OFF on being offended. You don’t HAVE to eat it, or even like it, and if you don’t? Roll your eyes and MOVE ON.
