The problem with this "think of the insurance" line of argument, isn't that an argument as well against presenting queer at work? Where is the line here between where antidiscrimination law starts and corporate control of employees ends?

I'm not sure what facet of anti discrimination that requiring unadorned uniforms and name tags is offending. I guess having rainbow tatts and earrings is still fine, but there's some delineation between the person and the provided uniform there.

It's probably an insurance or whs risk if people are going off their rocker at staff tbh.

E: well not probably, it absolutely is a risk and might already be happening. Getting verbally or physically abused by a customer at work is basically auto-compo

A friend of mine had a pride flag pin on their uniform at Bunnings and constantly had customers flying off the handle at them, and Bunnings response was to tell them to not wear the pin.

the wonderful (not wonderful) thing about bunnings ia encouraging them, especially during pride month, to wear pride pins and express themselves!

and then go 'but not like that' if customers act like cunts

This is where I begin to speculate what being a
man of my word costs me

“I suspect that much of our disillusion with politics today and our institutions is that we have put too much faith in them. At the end of the day, the state and the market are just run by imperfect people, like all of us. While politics may be an important and necessary place for service, I would also warn against it being a surrogate for finding identity, ultimate meaning and purpose in life. There are far better options than politics.”

I'm asking about the experience of it as someone who isn't involved. The response seems like there are some issues, which is what I'd expect since it's a corporate sponsor major event now.

You should try yoga or something.

Can't talk about today but when it was started it was basically a "let all the kinks out" fest that was supported by the whole of the Darlinghurst/Kings Cross precinct. The main event being a bachannal after the parade that was invite only. Or so someone tells me.
