I’d rather been an American living under Trump than an Australian suffering under Albo. Trans is a lie and pronouns in your bio is proof of mental illness.
As a lesbian, I am so tired of this nonsense. I am tired of corporate Pride and activist Pride.
This week HelloFresh decided that the best way to celebrate Pride Month was to post jokes about preparing for anal sex and offering high-fibre recipes to help people "prep". They then doubled down with a discount code called BOTTOMSUP.
Inclusion! WOO! 🙄
The thing that frustrates me is that people like me have spent years defending gay rights against accusations that we are hypersexual, inappropriate, and incapable of ordinary family life.
That was one of the central prejudices gay people faced. For decades, opponents portrayed gay men in particular as sexually obsessed and depraved. They argued that homosexuality was all about sex rather than love, commitment, relationships and family. The fight for equal rights was partly a fight against exactly that caricature.
And now here we are. A major multinational company has decided the best way to celebrate Pride is to publicly discuss anal sex. What an achievement.
The same-sex marriage movement wasn't about sex. It was about love, commitment, and the ability to build a life with the person you love. It was about family and equality before the law.
Most gay people are not what the weirdos in the HelloFresh marketing department think we are. We go to work, pay bills, walk the dog, argue about whose turn it is to empty the dishwasher, and try to build a decent life together.
You know... Normal things.
The overwhelming majority of gay people just want to be accepted and left alone. We want the same freedoms, responsibilities and opportunities as everyone else. We don't need multinational corporations making dirty jokes about us to feel "included".
What makes this even more ridiculous is that HelloFresh's core market is clearly not radical "queer" activists with blue hair and septum rings.
Their customers are overwhelmingly middle-class couples and families. Busy parents. Professionals. People with disposable income who want convenient meals after work.
How hard would it have been to make a genuinely wholesome Pride advertisement?
Two mums cooking dinner with their kids or two husbands hosting friends. A same-sex couple just making dinner together or flipping a coin to see who has to cook. A simple message acknowledging families and love. Instead they went with rectum jokes.
Somewhere along the way after the TQ+ hijacked our movement, Pride stopped being about acceptance and started being about performance. A small but influential group of activists have convinced themselves that being as shocking, vulgar and sexually explicit as possible is somehow brave and intrinsically "queer". They think boundaries of any kind are oppression including standards and decorum. They think manners are censorship.
The result is campaigns like this one and somehow people are shocked when there is backlash against us all.
I actually feel really sorry for gay men in particular because one of the oldest stigmas they have faced is the idea that they are dirty, promiscuous and defined entirely by sex. This campaign reinforces that stereotype.
If you wanted to design an advertisement that would make ordinary people roll their eyes and think Pride is ridiculous, or shield their children's eyes in horror, you would struggle to do better than this.
The irony is that HelloFresh's marketing department thinks this is progressive. It's regressive and distasteful. It takes decades of work by ordinary gay people who want to be seen as neighbours, colleagues, parents, partners and family members and reduces all of it to a crude sexual punchline.
The people who fought for our rights wanted dignity, but the people most enthusiastic about Pride today seem determined to turn it into a fetish convention with corporate sponsors.
@thamoonman_@PilotPoli What a stupid kunt you are.
“Oh, I did it so that shku work for everyone”
Fucking inbreeds like you are what’s killing our country.
Go play with a train and do the world a favour
It’s been revealed that the Albanese Labor Government has guaranteed $258 million in taxpayer-backed financing to an Indian government-backed renewables company for a project in India. Meanwhile, Australian families are battling a cost-of-living crisis, manufacturers are shutting their doors and local businesses can’t access the support they need here at home.
One Nation’s position is simple: Australian taxpayer dollars should be used to strengthen Australia first, our energy grid, our industry, our workers and our communities. Instead of exporting capital overseas while Australians struggle, we should be investing in reliable domestic energy, rebuilding local manufacturing and lowering costs for everyday Australians.
Australians are asking a fair question: why is Labor underwriting foreign projects while Australians can barely afford their own power bills?

Media Release: Foreign students must be stopped from abusing asylum
Foreign students should be required to return home before applying for further study in Australia to prevent abuse of the immigration system and reduce the backlog in deporting unlawful non-citizens.
One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said universities addicted to easy foreign student money were complicit in the abuse, which was partly responsible for the record 2.6 million temporary visa holders currently in Australia.
“Many of these people are occupying homes and accessing services that should be for Australians first,” Senator Hanson said. “It’s apparent that when it comes to some of these students, there’s no intention to study and every intention of abusing the system to access economic benefits and high Australian wages.
“There’s been an explosion of foreign students abusing the system with ‘course-hopping’. They get a student visa, drop out soon after and apply to a bunch of bogus schools or courses while remaining on a bridging visa which allows them to work and access housing and services in Australia.
“On average these bridging visas last around 200 days before their new study visa application is processed. If they’re knocked back they just appeal it – the average waiting time for appeals is another 64 weeks, again on a bridging visa. Many even claim asylum despite having no grounds, because your average waiting time on such an application is around three years. If that’s knocked back, they just appeal it again so they can spend more time making money in Australia.
“The number of foreign students on bridging visas has blown out from 13,000 to more than 107,000 in just three years. The system is being scammed, and universities addicted to foreign student money are part of the problem. It’s no coincidence many universities based elsewhere have campuses and shop fronts in Sydney where most foreign students want to end up. For what reason does Central Queensland University – which in 2023 recorded a 57.2% first-year dropout rate among foreign students – have a campus in Sydney if not to grab a slice of the foreign student windfall?
“It’s another example of why Australian universities must be broken of their addiction to foreign students and be forced to prioritise education for Australians.”
Senator Hanson said One Nation’s policy would ensure foreign students who drop out of courses would not receive bridging visas to remain and work in Australia, and would not be able to lodge appeals with the Australian Review Tribunal (ART).
ENDS.
@AZero930@Xmusknewsx Fuck them.
Act like humans or get treated like the inbred animals they are.
Send the mudbloods back to the zoo country they belong in if they can’t act properly
@TheKennyDevine It saddens me that mentally ill people like you don’t get the help you need.
Then again, I guess it’s not your fault that your dad married his sister.
@alfie_r55@daniellismore@yardmanson See where the sad little trannie says “ these men find me behind their wives back”
File that under things that never happened
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Open up the asylums again please- these mentally ill clowns are a menace
The gutless wonders in the Coalition calling for One Nation Senators to be investigated are pure hypocrites.
The fact is, there is no question over Senator Whitten's eligibility. Snowy Hydro is a public company, not a government department.
The most questionable Senator in Parliament, Fatima Payman, holds Afghan citizenship. It's a case that still needs investigation and an answer.
I tried to have her qualification to sit in Parliament under section 44 of the Constitution referred for an inquiry.
The hypocrites in the Coalition joined with Labor and the Greens to kill that inquiry and make sure she was never investigated.
If the Coalition didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any.
I wish the Coalition would put as much effort into working together and fixing the country as they put into trying to take One Nation down.
