It might still be summer in Australia, but we’ve got plenty of snowflakes blowing around. A whingeing “Indigenous activist” has recently [bullied Coon Cheese into changing its name](https://goodoil.news/cheer-cheese-i-dont-bloody-think-so/). Now, in what a gay friend of mine characterises as “more flaming faggotry”, an LGBTBBQEIEIEIO activist is campaigning against another longstanding Aussie icon – the Golden Gaytime.

New Zealanders can have their Cookie Crumbles, but Australians are determined to keep having a Gaytime.

> Australians are urging ice cream giant Streets to keep the name of its iconic Golden Gaytime following a petition that called for it to be rebranded.  
>  
> Over 1150 people have signed the petition that argues the name of the ice cream, which was first released in 1959, was “outdated” and “offensive” – and implores for the term “gay” to be banished from its title.

Wow. A whole 1,200 whining “rainbow” snowflakes?

**On the other hand, more than 45,000 non-snowflake Australians are telling them to stick their petition up their bum.**

> In a survey published on Wednesday, more than 45,000 voters said the name is “harmless and not offensive”\[…\]  
>  
> In a statement to *NCA NewsWire*, Streets stressed the word “gay” had not been applied to gender preference when the product was first released in the 1950s.  
>  
> “The origin of the ‘Gaytime’ name was and remains related to having a joyous or happy time and is meant to capture the pleasure that comes with enjoying an ice cream,” a spokesperson said in a statement.  
>  
> “The ‘Gaytime’ name is not and never has intended to cause offence and this petition is the first that we have been made aware of.

Now ‘Poofy McQueen’ is having a right old cry because hardly anyone is buying into his cancel culture hissy-fit.

> **Mr Mc** said he had been subject to personal attacks for speaking out about the name but stood by his view that it was outdated\[…\]  
>  
> Weighing in on the debate, many readers said they felt the request was an example of cancel culture “gone way too far”.  
>  
> “The meaning hasn’t changed, we have only added more meanings,” one reader commented. “Just leave it, it still means happy,” another stated.  
>  
> “It’s not offensive; we shouldn’t change it,” one man said.  
>  
> While one woman said: “The name is fine, the world is going crazy.”  
>  
> Others said the suggestion the name was offensive was “ridiculous” and “a joke”\[…\]  
>  
> **A string of new online petitions have also launched calling to “Keep the name Golden Gaytime”.**  
>  
> “I’m trying to prevent a small minority from ruining the fun of this iconic ice cream. The vast majority of the LGBTI+ community enjoy the double entendre, and would be disappointed with this change to say the least,” a post by **Pat Mahon** reads\[…\]**the LGBTQIA+ community has widely condemned the movement to remove the word “gay” from Golden Gaytime, stating it is not an “offensive” word.**

As the jingle goes, it’s hard to have a Gaytime on your own. “Brian Mc” might be gay, but, as we see, he’s very much on his own when it comes to denigrating the beloved Gaytime.
