Sesame Street is gay

Here's another thing the anti-LGBT crowd can boycott.

Highly influential children's programme, Sesame Stret, has come out in a not-very-subtle fashion in support of Pride Month.

Here's the post showing the vibrant, multi-coloured puppets:

It is part of a trend across the world these days during June each year for Pride colours to fly high and proud.

Throwing significant weight behind the Pride movement is Facebook, the biggest social network in the world, where its founder Mark Zuckerberg personally endorsed "the road to equality" just three weeks before this.

 

Situation in Singapore

In Singapore, a group of 10 foreign companies, including Facebook, Google and Uber, wrote to the Singapore police licensing division to seek permission to provide modest financial and/or in-kind support for the Pink Dot event on July 1, after they were excluded as it was made clear only locals were allowed to participate from this year.

The request by foreign companies were, needless to say, promptly rejected.

Some 120 local sponsors have since stepped up to take up the vacated sponsorship spots.

With these restrictions in place, opposing voices putting out calls to boycott entities that support the Pride movement have also grown locally, with Cathay most recently on the receiving end.

Liberal messaging over the years have certainly been sneakily passed off as norms, especially in American television, and Sesame Street has been acknowledged to contain leftist propaganda, but an ideology of exclusion and repulsion is increasingly untenable in a world where the young are supplanting the old and wanting to fall on the right side of history.
