An previous image exhibiting rainbow truffles offered at Ache D’or resurged on-line few weeks in the past, triggering an Anti-LGBTQ marketing campaign in opposition to pastry retailers promoting rainbow truffles. The marketing campaign even prolonged to incorporate festivals that have been elevating colourful flags.
Ache D’or responded to the controversy by issuing an announcement condemning the assaults on the establishment and clarifying that they don’t have anything to do with such actions, in referring to the LGBTQ group. Whereas I perceive that they wanna stir away from controversy and maintain their shopper base, they might have merely indicated that these truffles are meant as being joyful ones for youths, and never for every other functions, with out the necessity to place themselves in opposition to a bunch of Lebanese.
All in all, it’s extremely worrying to see the quantity of hate and ignorance triggered by a chunk of cake, and the calls to violence in opposition to the LGBTQ group in Lebanon.
