Keep the name of the Streets Golden Gay time as it is.
The issue
In response to the petition by Brain MC https://www.change.org/p/streets-australia-change-the-name-golden-gaytime?redirect=false
As a member of the LQBTIQ community, having lived as an openly gay man before admitting the truth to myself that I am transgender, I find no offense or reference to sexuality in this products name and advertising.
I feel that this continued campaign of forcing others to change because a small group of people take offence will lead to strong community opposition and ultimately cause campaigns and petitions of genuinely offensive names / products to be ignored as "yet another target" of the political correctness extremists.
I urge Streets to not only consider Brian MC's petition, but also this one as well along with popular opinion before making any hasty decision.
There will always be something that causes offence to some individuals in their interpretation.
That does not mean that it is offensive or should be modified again and again to appease a vocal minority at not only the financial cost, but also at the cost of brand recognition.
If anybody disagrees with my opinion, Brian MC's petition is linked above and you may choose to sign his petition.
If however you agree with me, please sign and share to all your friends.
Let's share BOTH sides of the story so that Streets may make an informed decision.
Note, please do not harass Brian MC for his opinion.
Everybody is entitled to have one and express it.
I am expressing mine by way of this petition.
