The supermarket chain has also signed on as an official partner of Pride Cup Australia which promotes inclusivity and diversity in sport.
Pride Cup Australia CEO James Lolicato said that Pride Cup Australia works across all levels of sporting organisations from national leagues to local community clubs. “When I was growing up, homophobic comments were thrown around the field more than the ball was. I didn’t feel welcome or safe to be myself in sport," he said."To now see Pride Cup games being held in so many sports across the country is incredible."
"We know that sports clubs are at the very heart of so many communities; these events make real inroads for LGBTQI+ inclusion far beyond game day." “We are so delighted that Coles is supporting our organisation because as part of our partnership, Coles will help Pride Cup Australia expand their reach to over 750 clubs annually across Australia, by 2025.”
What in hell is gender affirmation leave?
Funny if Russia moves in with China ..then what Coles ...
Bye bye Coles
No more coles as that is discrimination
Where's the ten days paid leave for carers?
Why not for all?
Coles are just encouraging more of this lifestyle... God will have his say and hell awaits.
Wtf?
Equality is what matters, right? 🤡
More privilege for Man! Great 🤡
Hahaha this stupid agenda is the proof of the uneccesary that politicians are, they doesn't have too much too offer, just silly and unfair things, paid with taxes, obviously.
Why are they discriminating against normal people?
As someone who is and has family in the alphabet family I find coles approach which is non inclusive of my family & friends who are not part of the community so it's Woolworths Aldi from now on!
So what are they going to call it? Sick in the head leave？
Smh 🤦♂️
wcameronOU812 thought you’d enjoy this
Just as well there's other supermarkets to shop at, because Coles can feck off with this ball-sucking BS.
Those who get the leave will be happy but overall this policy is damaging the image of LGBT group. So what makes them needs 10 extra days leave? Do they need more mental rest or has some kind of disadvantage 🙄? You just made them not look like one of the 'normal' society
Since I feel ostracized now I'll shop at Woolies.
End of my shopping at Coles
F**king bullshit 😂
Coles, pass the expense to the consumers? No way!
and here I was going through the check outs to chat to real humans. Guess thats out of the question now. Time to chat to the self checkout machines. At least they dont have an Identity crysis
I heard if your a trans man and break the world record 50m freestyle you get an extra 5 days paid leave 😂
How is having a heap people pretending they are trans help anyone one or anything?
What a load of complete rubbish. Affirmation?
Geez, I might flip for 10days off
Me - So what's a woman? Them - Can't say I'm not a biologist Me - So Biology does define it? Them - You Facist Me - Do you have a degree in political science Bwhahahaaha Them - **Head Explodes**
What a bloody joke 🤬🤬
Sounds like plain discrimination of the majority to me.
What a joke. Can I have 10 days off just for being a white, straight male ?
Christo62228503 😂
That’s all we’ll and good but what about giving other genders days off to cope with life in general, personal or medical problems, when does it end or where do you draw the line, it’s ridiculous !
What the fuck is a gender affirmation leave? So u get different treatment from everybody else if u cant get your dick hard or like hairy men’s ass?
Phuk me
Couldn’t this just go under Sick Leave?
Coles going full Fhagg
I possibly wouldn't have a problems with that if they had fully transitioned... but you know the vast majority will only self-identify
Is that not discrimination to people who are normal 🤔 Coles
Okay so I tell my manager that I need 10 days to become the real me. I have a great holiday and then come back as I was when I left.
Lol
I wonder if it does the same for Christians ...
This has to be eradicated from our work place and schools starting by voting labor. Liberal & greens out…vote PaulineHansonOz OneNationAus UnitedAusParty CraigKellyMP SenatorRennick andrewbogut
Expect a 100% transvestite workforce.
Good on them but more like a marketing stunt given to their post Covid profit, what’s 10 days? Lmao. Get the pricing right by not overcharging your customers maybe?
How many TG employees do they have
How lovely for them…1st world problems..
Wow. Wtf. Really?
Time to start shopping at woolworths .
What the actual fek….. honestly
Immortul 🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
Do the rest of Coles staff get mental health leave too ?
Sky News, it's a tad late for April fools jokes
This comment section (most of twitter but mainly here)
🤡
coles making too much money. I never shopped with you anyhow because you were crap. 👎
These people are insane - surely this is against some kind of equality law?
What 0.01%? Okay on it’s all in workforce. What about 99.99%? 10 days paid leave please?
That is both COLES & QANTAS, erased as a business choice for me as an Australian consumer. Politically correct, gender bender sodomite compliance, does absolutely nothing for me as one who accepts & affirms a common human DNA birthright as one being of only two possible genders.
Give it a break .. enough of this ..pushing it down our throat day on and day out...
So what do you get for being normal like 99.7% of us?
So if me as a straight male, wife kids etc wanted to work at coles I would be disadvantage in leave to a minority group. Fuck you coles , not shopping there’s anymore. This transgender bullshit is getting ourt of hand.
How ridiculous, one in all in.
strata
I am not against trans or anyone actually but this is just bullshit, woke PC virtue signalling and yes just plain old free leave for no reason.
It’s amazing that you can’t work there unless you haven’t had your jabs ( nobody talks about discrimination) BUT if you can’t figure out if your a man or a woman WELL we better not discriminate against that… The world has gone mad.
Gordon again:
Big win for Woolies as far as I am concerned, 10 days paid leave what a joke..no wonder grocery costs, insurance costs and all things Coles/Westfarmers Group are thru the roof. Cancel this andvgive the money to our nurses
Gender affirmation leave Can I get some of that just to make sure that I am in fact a male? 😂
Gender affirmation leave Can I get some of that just make sure that I am in fact a male? 😂
How does this create equality. 🤔
Mental health leave.
Go woke go broke
Spend more effort and time on stocking the shelves instead of tokenism
Conservatives look for ways to make equality seem unequal for straight white males. Fail.
Fck me, im sick of this shit shoved down my throat everywhere I turn.
I’m sorry, but what the fuck is “gender affirmation leave”?
What a joke !!
FFS!
I am pissed off I am straight, seems it is not a good thing.
Numbers are about to go through the roof.
Can the Heterosexual staff get the same leave for their orientation.
Pure madness... Good bye Australia
What do the normal people get…just curious?
WTF
Thnx Coles… you’ve made it much easier for me to never spend another cent with you again! Inclusivity.
I hope affirming one’s Gender is not restricted to only Transgender or gender diverse. Plenty could use a blokes day out with mates paid for by Coles or a woman’s day out with the girls. What’s good for one is good for all. All Coles staff just got an extra 10 days paid leave
What a lot of fucking shit
what an absolute wank! You promote this dribble?
Oh, please... I thought they were normal humans, not special
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥸
What the f does that mean
FFS
If that’s supporting equality type stuff then everyone should get the leave
10 days wtf
What a joke!! They can use their sick leave like everybody else!!
2 week boys trip for lads who work at coles to affirm they love drinking piss and doing bloke stuff
It may be OK for big business but small business cannot afford such a cost. If it is to be then get it funded by all tax payers like the maternity/paternity leave
So what will the haters do and where will they shop when Woolworths announces the same ?
People with gender dysphoria don’t need Leave they need help. There’s a reason the suicide rate is significantly higher and it’s not because of lack of acceptance
Can’t stop laughing
OMFG 🤡🤡
RobAussie1 This is getting ridiculous.
Unbelievable! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Everyone working at Coles is about to identify as non-binary. Should be good..
Thankfully I shop at woolworths
Fuck me! Where will this shit end?
If they were being inclusive shouldn’t all staff get it, understand trans have a lot of hurdles but so does everyone, particularly post Covid so give all staff the leave, what they affirm it for is their own personal choice!
Huh ?
f**k me.. where is this world going...
