In early 2021, an online petition to change the product's name to something "less offensive" gained traction on social media. However, it was met with backlash by the general public, including counterpetitions,[18] and the original petition to rename was withdrawn. Streets has stated that they won't change the product's name.[19] In the same year, the name of the product was criticised by a Muslim association in Malaysia.[20]

Do these illiterate cunts realise that "gay" is an old English word for happy? Have they considered picking up a book? I guess if they did, they wouldn't be homophobic.

Even if there wasn't the history, the people calling it offensive are telling on themselves. For gay people, gaytime is just time. If you don't want gaytime to exist the only thing I can conclude is you don't want gay people to exist.
