BBC issues 'ally' badges to heterosexual staff

Stalin? World wars?

Wow.

I can only imagine some of you guys would be having a stroke at this point if this media corporation on another continent had done something like pass out rainbow bumper stickers.

Hysterical, in multiple senses of the word.

Your car would be safe from being keyed with a rainbow bumper sticker on it.

You car would NOT be safe from vandals if you were to place bumper stickers for Pro Life or MAGA.

This difference defines the opposing people on both sides well, wouldn't you say.

This is so European. It just stinks of labels and tattoos. All part of Euro culture.

In this case, no one is being "marked" as an outcaste or singled out for persecution. The idea that anyone is going to become a pariah for failing to wear one of these badges is pure presumption. As I stated before, the fact that both stories involve "badges" is their only similarity. The WWII-era star of David patches analogy is completely ridiculous.
