I have always said the goal was, that I believe my sexual inty is owned by me, not a brand and that the outdated meang no longer appli, so Goln Gaytime need to rebrand.

Overall, ’s an experience that has been distrsg, but I stand by my view that Goln Gaytime needs to change s name, pecially when s lnchg new products unr the Gaytime brandg 2021.

THE END OF GOLN GAYTIME? THE CANCER OF CANCEL CULTURE

Unilever and Streets, the brand that mak the Goln Gaytime ice-cream, have announced that after nsiratn and nsultatn, they will be keepg the name, how do you feel about this? This is a heartbreakg oute, if you started a new product 2021 and lled Goln Gaytime, I believe you would be shot down flam!

I chose to start my petn to rename the Goln Gaytime ice-cream as other brands have updated, I jt wish Streets/Unilever updated now as I believe ’s time and the people who signed my petn believe ’s time so also to rebrand.

ASIE MAN LNCH PETN TO GET GOLN GAYTIM RENAMED

Though I see the headle wh 98% of people sayg the name was not offensive, I will foc on the 2% – approximately 1, 100 people who stood wh me llg Goln Gaytime an outdated name and is offensive name for an ice-cream, my qutn is at what pot will Streets/Unilever say that’s the magic number they need to make a change. I feel, if a brand has ‘gay’ s name or drap s self a rabow flag (as one example) around a pri event, payment should be ma to the pri event s shg on. Acrdg to Streets/Unilever’s ments and only based on this, I believe the Goln Gaytime has given ZERO back fancially to the LGBTQIA+ muny, now that’s a bter tastg ice cream.
