Of late, many brands have put the Pride flag on product releases during the month of June. Do we dismiss this as ‘rainbow washing’ and profiteering, or must we recognise the positive effects of increased normalisation of the flag on the LGBTQIA+ community? During Pride Month this June, when the movement is more welcoming and accessible than ever, we weigh up whether this new norm has done more harm than good.

ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.

The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of selfimposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here
