no we don’t.
how many combinations out of the ever increasing LGBTQ would you like on your signs?! one is enough for me, i get the idea. give up seats for anyone with kids.
Damn straight, your here, your queer, we’re over it, shut up !
Right so. The Irish people decided that gays can now magically reproduce?
And how do you know that the model family didn’t decide to align their gender opposite to the sex they were born with? Surely that would be perfectly normal? And who would you be to judge in this case?
Actually the eggs from two women have been used to make an embryo, not sure how much further they have got. So two women can have a baby that comes from both of them biologically. And gay people aren’t sterile, they can “magically” reproduce just like the rest of us.
they can also adopt, or have children from prior relationships, or be minding the nieces and nephews for a day, and I am sure there is something else.
Jaysus ABM, you must really get the horn when Broadsheet posts these things up.
I mean, I have no doubt you’re just a troll who doesn’t actually believe what they write, but you just seem to love the opportunity to post your usual waffle every single time.
Are you not bored of it by now? Surely the thrill is wearing off.
White families only.
White stick families are inherently homophobic . It’s a well known fact.
Or maybe we could just remove the stickers? Why would people with small children need my seat? The understanding used to be that small children sat on their parents’ laps or (if they’re old enough) stood for adults. I distinctly remember my mother making me stand up for adults on the bus, and I’m not *that* old.
You give up the seat so that a child *can* sit on their parents lap. Rather than have them bounce around unsafely.
I wish I thought that’s how that sticker will be interpreted by the sanctimommies :-D
I can barely fit my knees in to the seats on most busses / trains. I doubt I could have a child on them as well.
You’re not that smart either.
Oh the gays want their own signs now, where will it end?
Seriously, this is fuppin stupid. We cannot plan a society based on the idea of a small number of people being offended at signs. Grow up.
just draw a mickey on the woman and move on
@scottser
Drawing mickeys on women?
There’s no craic in that.
Withdrawing, then giving it to them again, then withdrawing it again etc. is where the fun starts.
would you look for a different sign for families with 3 kids, or for families with 2 boys or 2 girls instead of one of each? Cop yourself on.
what do you mean. thats clearly a married highlander and lowland scot
That’s disgusting and unnatural. I voted against it.
You voted against the Scots?
I don’t see the need for Irish in our multi-cultural society either. The refugees won’t know what to do.
Ande the Giant Idiot!

Baaaah!!!
ouch, why
and our mascot will be the Greendale Human Being
Could they not just draw a little penis on the person in the dress. that wild cover a few more permutations and combinations of a standard family unit
Or a big penis
That would be discrimination against small penises… Not that I would know anything about that… ahem
Andre, maybe you should get the return journey when you get there. You know, get some rest, you seem distracted, in a silly way. And Lord knows, you’ll need your energy for getting hammered on the weekend.
Even before the Yes, this sign could have been seen as exclusionary to single-parent families or families with one child, so agreeing in principle to changing such a sign is like inviting a flood of entirely unnecessary ‘whataboutery’.
I’d be inclined to leave it be, I suppose if you look at it another way; there aren’t many other contexts where a man, woman and children could be regarded as anything other than a family, so it’s a good shorthand for the wider definition we now have.
It’s like the symbol for Save being a floppy disc; it’s just implying the concept of writing data to any form of memory, solid or cloud-based, and not to an actual floppy disc. This sign implies the concept of family, it doesn’t enforce a literal interpretation of it.
They’re not families… some of them are just far away…
How do we know it isn’t a picture depicting 2 men or 2 women, one wearing a skirt and one wearing trousers?
Or two non gender specific people in traditional gender specific clothing.
People with small children already take up all the priority seats as it is and leave disabled and elderly people standing in the aisles.
Oh shut up. Most gay people I know are tired of the pedantic whining of this sort of idiot.
Leprechauns are people too.
The gaeilge is a bit dodgy, I think, “do dhaoin a bhfuil paisti ag taisteal leo” – “a bhfuil” ? I would have gone with ‘dhaoine ag taisteal le paisti’.
This discriminates against TALL children!!!!! They have a right to preferential seating.
