LGBT Sandwich Causes Controversy

May 7, 2019

A food store in the UK has caused a stir with an LGBT sandwich.

Marks and Spencer Simply Food is selling their take on a BLT with the addition of guacamole. The sandwich is packaged in rainbow colors and is being sold in celebration of Pride.

Some in the LGBTQ community were excited by the sandwich while others were not so happy.

One person commented on Twitter, "Shame on the good folks over at @marksandspencer for turning our culture and identity into a sandwich. Making an absolute mockery of LGBTQ people."

What do you think about this sandwich? Are they capitalizing on culture?
