Maybe my skepticism from working in the industry steers me towards a negative outlook on their intentions, as I fear they’re using it as nothing more than a catalyst for their own PR, but it’s definitely provocative. What are your thoughts fishies?

It’s not news that they use any excuse they can to use the clown despite McDonalds retiring Ronald as a mascot years ago, and I speculate this is just another attempt at it. On one hand I’ll take any show of corporate support I can get, but maybe I’m just tired of seeing campaigns that “raises awareness” without any tangible support like a donation or alignment with a nonprofit or any internal-company policy movements. I read they’re an official partner of Helsinki pride this year (whatever that entails), but I’m still torn on this piece of it

I feel the same way. I’d be interested to learn what they’re doing internally, if anything. Or what they’re doing to support Helsinki Pride and the LGBTQIA+ community there beyond a donation.

Burger King being trash? What else is new? 🤢

Also this is an obvious attempt to generate PR. They know people will gawk at it. No one is going to see the Burger King mascot make out with Ronald and think “yeah, that’s nice. I support lgbtq+ people.”

I googled a lot how to transfer it but neither gift deed nor sale deed would work as the property is on mortgage that's under bank's ownership (until loan is fulfilled).
Tax is also getting deducted, I'm paying hefty emis.
What can I do?
Please advise 🙂

Just wanted to say, as a guy in my mid-20’s, cheers to all the 30-40+ y/o LGBTQIA+ folks here—I know we roll our eyes at the performative rainbows on everything now, but you folks made this possible for the rest of us—you fought for acceptance, for our rights, and you made it through the struggle so people my age don’t have the same weight to carry, so we don’t have to be as afraid.
We have a long way to go, and I’ll carry the torch too, but I really think y’all deserve more gratitude. Happy 🏳️‍🌈
