> Earlier this month, authorities in Saudi Arabia seized rainbow-coloured toys and children’s clothing, which they claimed encourage homosexuality, according to state TV Al Ekhbariya. It said commerce ministry officials removed a range of items from shops in the capital, Riyadh, including hats, skirts, T-shirts, hair clips and pencil cases.

I swear it's always a moral panic/mass hysteria with these people when it comes to discussing controversial social issues.

They also seem to be very fixated and invested in the talking point that with the proper and right formula of marketing, you can convert straight people to gay people, or make them engage in homosexual activities which is quite absurd and ridiculous if you ask me but here we go again.

can I play advocate here and say that one could interpret boycotting anything remotely connected to Russia or removal of anything confederate, cleaning up terminology like "master branches", or the hysteria calling for defunding the police as moral panic as well? not governmenral perhaps, but still moral panic.

I totally agree except for the master branch renaming manufactured controversy, it was total and plain idiocy on GH's part to give in to the blackmailing of those wokesters.

"These people", sounds "racist" huh?

We see what's coming, we see how things are unfolding in the rest of the world, so taking preventative action is only the smart and rational thing to do. You might not agree with it, but these are our culture and norms, and we've survived for over 1,400 years now.
