Conservatives were up in arms over Peppa Pig celebrating Pride month.

The official Instagram page for the animated series kicked off the LGBTQ+ celebration with a post, saying:


"🌈 Happy Pride Month 🌈 Here’s to celebrating love.❤"

The accompanying image featured the titular female piglet with her friends standing in front of a rainbow with the words "Happy Pride." The group included Penny Polar Bear, a character introduced as having two mothers.

Homophobic trolls blasted the post. It follows a trend among brands and companies like Target and Walmart honoring Pride and subsequently facing backlash from anti-LGBTQ+ conservatives.

Here is the post from Peppa Pig's Instagram page.


Conservatives who feared their kids were being indoctrinated by a cartoon celebrating love aired their grievances.

It's a shame normalizing love receives so much backlash.

Thank you for your support, Peppa!

The Trump Administration Just Canceled Major Funding For Alzheimer's Research Due To 'DEI'—And People Are Beyond Furious

Back in March 2025, it was revealed that the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump had slashed funding for Alzheimer’s research as part of their purge of all things diversity, equity, or inclusion (DEI) related.

It was also later revealed that most of the cuts were done by Elon Musk's untrained, unqualified Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) personnel—who couldn't define or describe diversity, equity, or inclusion even after making $16.5 billion of initially listed cuts across 1,127 cancelled or adjusted federal contracts because of "DEI"—using AI filters.

Video Of McDonald's Worker Dropping Food On Floor Before Putting It Back On Tray Sparks Food Safety Debate

Most people won't bat an eye at this when they're at home or with friends, again, if the food is dropped in a safe and clean location, like on a kitchen counter while making a plate.

But a floor really should never be included among the safe and clean surface options, especially when that floor is in a public space, and the five-second rule shouldn't even exist in food service spaces.
