[W:209] No Pride Pins in My LEGO Store



Here's a video I saw Charlie Kirk promoting, as another parent standing up to the evil LGBT agenda. Well, just look at how loopy this guy is. Literally just pride pins, and this man is going on about how genitals and whatnot. Another instance of a conservative that ties anything remotely LGBT positive, no matter how minute, to explicit sexual action. It's because they think being LGBT is inherently inappropriate.

Also, the stupidity of yelling at the employees, as if "Manager at LEGOS" is the embodiment of LEGOS as a company. You aren't confronting "LEGOS", you're just blabbing nonsense at an employee.

And check at all the positive comments below (it is the Daily Caller, so it's already a conservative cesspool, but still).

But the jackass stood there for how long trying to get those store employees and the security folks and the customers to BOW DOWN to his particular belief system.

Talk about religious bigot hypocrisy!

Dude needs to do a major First Stone Thrower's self check.

Or take a long vacation.
 
No. You said white people without qualifying your statement. People get sued for less. But of course we all understand victimology. You excel at it.
lol talks about "victimology" while trying to say I could be sued for what I wrote. Triggered much?
 
Could be.

Does anyone know if Lego corporation allows employees to display "maga" themes or similar too? I think that would be interesting to know. And if Lego is truly allowing the gay pride flag by respecting individual expression, then I would hope they allow for all individual political expression. Otherwise the company isn't really being fair to their employees at all, and what about those employees who would not want to wear a gay pride flag, are they being forced to do so?
I would not want to open the pandoras box by letting my employee wear political or ideological pins. The working environment should be neutral. Do what you want in your off time. My guess is it would be frowned upon to wear a MAGA pin at Lego. I'm also guessing that there is an implicit agreement as to what is considered acceptable. I would not wear a gay pride pin if my company asked us too. I wouldn't want to work for a company that forced this upon us.

ok. Thanks for letting us know; we would have never guessed.
 
Gay is fine. MAGA is destructive. Not a fair comparison.
I agree, gay is fine. And that being said, some customers I am sure may be annoyed by seeing that flag/pin which today is also pushing a trans agenda too.

In terms of MAGA, not everyone who wears that hat supported Donald Trump. So yeah, maybe it could be the same thing. And yes, if a LEGO employees so wishes to wear a gay pride flag, a BLM pin, or a maga symbol, why would anyone care? Do we no longer support peaceful expression in America?
 
So, you think that pregnant women in public are "perverts flaunting their sexuality"?

WOW!!!
You seem to have missed the point. The comparison was made to highlight how absurd the pastor's comments were, since he went on to complain about how that flag represented oral sex between same sex couples.

I agree with this, and it makes good business sense too in my opinion. Why would any company want to alienate any potential customers, leave the politics and religion out of it, and keep things neutral.

I'm uncomfortable with an employer dictating to employees which political views are acceptable, and which are not. By supporting some, and forbidding others, that only creates in my opinion a hostile work enviroment. In every job I ever had, the company had strict rules about discussing politics, religion, abortion, etc at work. Companies I worked for wished to stay neutral and that is a best policy. Otherwise, how does say an employee who would not want to wear a gay flag pin opt out without assuming he may not be retaliated against by management.

I agree with you. I would not wear any political or religious symbol at work, especially if being forced to do so, and that goes for politics and beliefs I may even agree with. I just don't think it is appropriate, and allowing a company to force that on you means that when a company has a political view you are against, then you now may be FORCED to compromise your principals just to stay employed, and this unfair.

I don't see the comparison. There is nothing unnatural about a pregnant woman. That is if it is actually a woman.

I don't feel that this "pastor" handled the situation well, but I do understand as a father his possible anger at feeling that this "flag waving" is being done in the face of his child in a place one should think there would not be a need for that, as in a toy store where many children go just to find toys. At some point a parent like this feels that all of these symbols are an attempt to groom children into accepting something HE FEELS is not natural. Which is a big difference than men and women procreating, which is very natural.
 
I think you mistook my post, or maybe I wasn't clear. I meant bigots could shop on Amazon's website without having to come face to face with clerks wearing pride pins.
Okay. Apologies for misunderstanding.

It would seem Lego corporation does not give a shit what your are comfortable with...

Wonder if that "pastor" walks around, not bowing down to other folks, by, say, confronting married folks over whether they engage in oral sex or not, and if they do, what kind of agenda that shows to children?

Or what, OMG OMG OMG it shows to children if opposite sex married folks have sex for pleasure and not just to procreate!

There is an awful lot of NOT BOWING DOWN that "pastor" needs to be getting on about and up in people's faces other than just some store employee's wearing Pride Pins!
 
I agree, gay is fine. And that being said, some customers I am sure may be annoyed by seeing that flag/pin which today is also pushing a trans agenda too.
I'm annoyed by showing a heterosexual married couple on a television show. Why does their agenda have to be shoved in my face?
In terms of MAGA, not everyone who wears that hat supported Donald Trump. So yeah, maybe it could be the same thing. And yes, if a LEGO employees so wishes to wear a gay pride flag, a BLM pin, or a maga symbol, why would anyone care? Do we no longer support peaceful expression in America?
The man in the video wasn't supporting peaceful expression in America.

Lego Corporation has a CAMPAIGN based on appealing to the LGBTQ community...

 
Could be.

They are free to seek employment elsewhere.
 
LEGO is doing an LGBTQ promotion. LEGO wants the employees in those pins. I doubt they're forced to wear them.


The LEGO Group is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. It partners with Workplace Pride, Stonewall and Open for Business to help shape strategies to support employees who identify as LGBTQIA+ and allies across the company. It also supports UK-based charity, Diversity Role Models which works to educate children about inclusivity and empathy in order to build supportive and inclusive future generations.
