I hate it when people say we don’t ‘own the rainbow’ or whatever. When you see someone walking down the street wearing a rainbow t-shirt or bracelet, what do you think? - gay. Case closed..
i've worn a rainbow bracelet everyday since the day i was born as a religious symbol - when i came out it became a happy combination of two facets of my personality but i don't think we the gays get to claim this one without bringing up religion just because we've commercialised it. I dunno it's hard, religious LGBT folks are kinda dancing around this one feeling hella awkward ngl
@@kesther11 I've heard religious people say "the gays culturally appropriated the rainbow" lmao, but overall, the rainbow is literally nature. No group can "own" the rainbow. That's like trying to own the moon.
@@Tara........ i agree especially by the government who literally hate us but imo Christians have more of a leg to stand on here than the lgbt community which is hard to say for me cause im part of both communities.
I really love how Rosie addresses the issue and controversy about the NHS neglecting the importance and meaning of the rainbow flag for the LGBTQ+ community. I feel the exact same way but wouldn't manage to put in into worlds like she did.
Z F Absolutely agree! what is so ridiculous is that it’s not even a horizontal rainbow, they are literally using the flag, our 6 coloured flag, instead of the regular 7 coloured rainbow. Next thing we know they’ll be using our traditional 8 coloured one with the pink and turquoise too! Those colours each have a particular meaning and even if they didn’t the flag is our symbol of celebration, rebellion, and support. Use a rainbow if you want, and do whatever you can to support the NHS but it’s upsetting seeing people who voted Tory not only clapping but hanging up the rainbow flag which represents our shared struggle, pain, love, isolation, pride, history... you know? I’m yet to watch the video (lol sorry got randomly very passionate) so she may say something similar but that’s what bothers me. I love our NHS and hate what our government is doing to it. But it’s not like the rainbow flag being the most powerful and inclusive LGBTQ+ visual symbol isn’t well known 😭
@@AZebraReads That's not what they're saying though no one's asking them to come up with a logo its a sign of support for them. Also as they said the NHS already have a symbol
@@hebefitzpatrick2325 yes but the original comment here was about the NHS neglecting the importance and meaning of the flag. The NHS arent doing anything, the public are the ones doing it not the NHS.
@B R yes a rainbow is a general symbol. A standard rainbow is 7 colours. The LGBTQ+ flag is 6 colours and this is what is being used, not just a normal rainbow
(Hi i'm a gay also known as a lesbian)And Yeah totally agree it is like if they started using the poly flag to support math teachers, it just doesn't work like that
To be fair my colleagues in the NHS also agree with this and it gets mentioned alot. However it came about originally from the whole ‘kids painting rainbow pictures to put in their windows’ so rainbows became associated with the lockdown, key workers, hope etc.
@@iliketowatchvideos47 its not about them 'stealing the rainbow', its about the fact that theyre getting rid of the history of many gay people dying while holding that flag and now homophobes are carrying it round in 'support for the NHS' just use the rainbow and not the pride flag, theyre different things. the pride flag has 6 colours, the rainbow has 7
The nhs taking the lgbt flag is just so scary cause it feels like a MASSIVE step backwards for the community. And I feel in a real state of ‘what can we even do? Nothing can be done, no one listens to us.’ We are just seen as being crazy and offensive to the nhs. I feel quite disheartened tbh
To be fair the NHS didn’t actually take it, some idiot members of the public decided to leap from the cute thing of kids drawing actual rainbows on posters to just using the LGBT flag. Not sure how that happened tbh but not something the NHS did themselves. Thankfully in my local area I haven’t seen any pride flags, it’s all just cute drawings kids have made of rainbows and the sun.
you can’t be serious? it’s a rainbow. rainbows aren’t exclusively gay or related to pride. rainbows represent hope, happiness etc, and it just happens to be the gay flag too.
Ruby Luisa the rainbow flag, that organisation of colours is the Gay Pride Flag. You cannot deny that it is a symbol of gay pride and gay rights and the fight for equality???
Billie Morgan the gay flag IS a rainbow, which is one of the many things rainbows represent. if someone draws a rainbow and they’re not gay are you going to get mad at them? it literally makes no sense
Man i've been in this Channel Like for almost 5 years(im 21 now lmao) or more *and i swear that as a bisexual guy* Rose's jokes about bi people/ bisexuality never gets old I laugh my ass of every single time, that and rosie's reaction.
"I actually identify as LGBTQ+NHS" ffs 😂 Seriously though, I hadn't heard anything about what was happening with the NHS and the pride flag. That's so infuriating, and potentially dangerous.
Yeah it started quite cute with a virol internet trend of children out of school putting rainbow drawings outside their windows, but got real old real quick when people started to use our official flag :/
@B R The LGBTQ+ Pride Flag has 6 colours rather than what people typically think of for a "common" rainbow which has 7 colours (ROYGBIV). Yet most of the flags being flown only have 6 colours (pride flags) rather than the 7 colours (common rainbow).
anyone else think Rosie's becoming more eloquent and just straight up dropping wisdom on us more often? I'm proud of them both and love these intellectual discussions ❤️
I literally couldn’t agree more. A massively historic, sentimental and most importantly STILL RELEVANT symbol has been misappropriated by a irrefutably homophobic government. YES for a fantastic cause of course but for the rainbow to suddenly have so much respect attributed to it from people who’ve historically been highly disrespectful to us as a community is actually a bit heartbreaking. Also, I see using the rainbow and not the actual nhs symbol an excuse to make that respect temporary. Not loading the actual logo with that importance may excuse the government from actually paying them an acceptable wage in the future. Just thoughts.
"Irrefutably homophobic government" Previous Conservative government legalised gay marriage. Current conservative government has hasn't pushed any policy that harms LGBT. So how is it irrefutably homophobic?
Agreed, I thought the same of why would you not use the NHS symbol as is...but like you say I think it creates that dissociation, along with the cut funding and everything else..it all a means to their shitty Tory end 🤬
Ok yeah I draw the line at the actual flag. A drawing of a rainbow, like the big semi circle curvy boy, is one thing, the colours OF the rainbow is one thing, but co opting the pride flag itself is so damn disrespectful. You dont just get to recycle the pride flag to mean something else entirely
This makes sense. I agree with this. Maybe because I’m from the US where everyone uses the rainbow for a myriad of causes, I was like what’s the big deal, but no one claims the actual rainbow flag. They make their own rainbow 🌈 symbolism. I get the frustration now.
@B R they cld hv changed it. Make it verticle or rearrange the colours, like many country flags have similarities in colours scheme, arrangement of stars and crosses but they still are made to look unique so tht only their country is represented, nhs can obviously have the exact rainbow theme but they shld have made it unique to their organisation instead of co opting the exact design of the pride flag
@@iliketowatchvideos47 you seem kinda arsed, you've been commenting telling everyone to get over it and that you're too busy to care. but you sure seem to care. Same goes for @B R
@B R Canada's flag has a maple leaf symbol on it. Now would you say Canadians own the mapple leaf? No. Because it's a flag. But would you take the Canadian flag and say it's a normal mapple leaf? Also no. Because it's a symbole and has a specific meaning.
it is not just any rainbow that they are stealing....it's literally the pride flag. Taking the pride flag and changing its meaning is akin to erasing our identity. I'm fully with you two on this one.
i like to watch videos Maybe it doesn’t hold any strong meaning for you but for a lot of people it’s a symbol of years of fighting for rights and acceptance and using that exact symbol for something unrelated is appropriation and erasure of the community. Plus it’s not that hard to make a new symbol the nhs literally already have a logo people could use
I understand the erasure or appropriation issue, but I also think a silver lining to it all is that it could desensitize those who normally react to the pride flag with anger or disgust. If it becomes more common and doesn't have a clear association for one specific thing, then there may be less instances of "well that's gay so I will lash out" because they simply won't know unless there is a further identifier along with it.
Honestly I feel the same about the NHS thing. Literally thought everyone was coming out when I saw it, then when I realised what it was I was a little disappointed and annoyed. Saying “No one owns a rainbow” is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Does that mean I can just make a company and call it “KFC” with the reasoning “oh, but no one owns the letters K, F and C”.
The rainbow flag can not be trademarked for the obvious reason it was around before pride, maybe if they jumbled the colours up in a specific order to make it truly unique, but currently it's just too generic and used in many areas unrelated to pride.
@@wickedjuice yeah which just goes to show how easy it is to change the meaning of a symbol with already so much importance - I was just using it as an example to express the idiocy behind saying no one owns the symbol
Omg I'm not from the UK, but that NHS stealing our rainbow thing is infuriating... Hearing those stories about homophobic people putting up the rainbow flag for the NHS makes me nauseous
The public actually decided to start putting up the flags themselves. Originally it was just a rainbow symbol and kids were drawing posters with a rainbow (not the flag) and putting them up as kind of “rainbow after the storm” kind of sentiment. Then some dumb fucks decided to use the flag instead. The NHS themselves had nothing to do with the flag use.
G-Eazy is actually the worst. I don't care that she's with a man. I care that she's with the person who broke Halsey's heart. G-Eazy is not a good dude for other reasons as well. Genuinely I would be over the moon if she were with a celebrity dude known for anything other than being a sleazeball. (Edit: Biphobes who rail against the relationship just because he's a man are disgusting. I've seen some other comments here, and I think it's important that I put this note here.) Also lesbian celebrity couples that have lasted just because I'm here: Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor, Ellen Page and Emma Porter, Wanda Sykes and Alex Niedbalski/Sykes, Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner, and Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry. I know R and R like to joke, but it's good to have role models! Final edit: Motherland: Fort Salem is spectacular. Angsty but one of the best shows I've seen to date. I hope you two enjoy it if/when you watch it!
I remember someone said to me once ‘why haven’t we got straight pride?’ And I said ‘oh I didn’t know you had to fight for years and years for human rights and to be accepted and to be treated equality’
Also I heard people saying that the peace flag is also rainbow, which is true BUT the peace flag has 7 stripes and the colors and in a different order and from what I see Y'ALL BE HANGING PRIDE FLAGS NOT PEACE FLAGS
Really appreciate you sharing your opinion on this! From both the LGBT community and the NHS's perspective it seems a baffling choice. Having the community's symbol reclaimed, including by anti-LGBT people, kinda seems to be trampling over its history and the safety it's meant to indicate. As for the NHS, I have so much love and respect for NHS workers including those I know in my life, and to me it'd be much more logical, like you said, to hang out the NHS symbol and colours. If this is about showing respect and love for them, why can't we show that directly to them and their symbol and colours? I can't help but feel like anti-LGBT rhetorics are on the rise and, like you've also said, that people have issues with feeling like the rainbow flag is always being "shoved in their face" (and similar disparaging lines of thinking etc.). Having the pride flag being spread so widely as it is at the moment seems like it's probably gonna antagonise both LGBT and anti-LGBT people, and it's something that could so easily have been avoided. Doesn't sit right with me. Honestly wouldn't be surprised once all this is over if people start complaining and claiming that it was being used as a symbol for the NHS to push left wing agenda, which is simply not true. (I don't think my first comment posted? Apologies if it did and this is more or less a repeat o-o)
Ughh it should have been my local pride today, so I hung out my pride flag this morning to show solidarity since we cant have our celebration. A dog walker asked me if someone in the family was an NHS worker, to which I told them my reasons. He seemed shocked at the fact that I could have a rainbow flag that could represent something other than NHS. It really annoyed me because haven't we always associated a six colour rainbow flag with LGBT+ pride. Like I see a rainbow and I'm like...gay
I think one of the larger reasons people hate Ashley Benson with G Eazy is cause he is a huge cheater. He was with Halsey and he cheated on her countless times
Finn you learn best from your mistakes when you make them yourself and come back from them on your own. If someone is telling you what to do, you can’t really figure out your own path
I can proudly say that I watched so many videos from you that I don’t even need subtitles anymore to understand what Rosie is saying, much more efficient than every English lesson I ever had
Sending you ladies mad love! It's been a really hard year for you both. Yet you are still out here making videos that brighten people's lives. Thank you so much for bringing more joy into the world. I'm so sorry for the pain you are enduring. You two are incredibly strong and have made my life so much better. No one makes me laugh like you too. When I moved out on my own for the first time I listened to your videos while I unpacked. I felt like I had two friends helping me settle into my new home. I can see how hard it's been for you two but you ladies a persevering and that is Incredible!!! Much love and Thanks! May your hearts heal as much as they can and may you grow stronger from your sorrows. I love you both so much.
i couldn’t agree more Borris really messed up taking away the flag that people have literally died for just to replace it with a new meaning when the nhs already had a symbol
buffy the vampire slayer is airing on sky from the start on monday!!!! i’m so excited i was watching there old videos and rose said it was so good so i’m so excited to watch it !!!!
i’m closeted and because i live in a small town, i haven’t seen many other lgbtq+ people out and about, so when i saw the rainbows when i was going for a walk they made me feel so much less alone and i was shocked at how many people were like me. needless to say when i found out the flags didn’t mean what i thought they did, i was very disappointed.
thank you!!! i’ve been arguing my mum over the pride flag for the last few days. some backstory- shes never allowed me to even be openly gay or buy a pride flag. so today, after an argument, i sent my mum an amazon link and asked her to buy me a pride flag. when she said no, i told her “wait i thought it was for the NHS? like you said? why can’t i get it then, huh?” hahaa so i won an argument and now have a pride flag too lol
Im so glad it's not just me that's been unsure about the rainbows. Im fully supportive of the NHS, but the rainbow is for pride, just back off, you know?!
Fr, it feel like the community has been robbed, like they have devalued us by taking the flag because it’s not important who it belonged to in the first place. Can you imagine the outrage if they had used a poppy? People would be screaming that it’s disrespectful but because it’s a pride flag most people outside the community don’t seem to care
I was very confused when I started seeing the rainbows everywhere. How did this actually start anyway? I completely agree, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Especially since the area I live in is an extremely safe conservative hold. They've had landslide victories here for over 20 years and I've never felt particularly accepted. And now everyone is waving rainbow flags and clapping every Thursday. It's all for show. If they really valued the NHS, they should have supported it with their vote.
Literally someone on my street started flying the pride flag as a rainbow for the NHS and I kept quiet because I was afraid my family would think I was being unsupportive, but it genuinely made me feel uneasy. The pride flag holds so much meaning for our community and when I see it places it makes me feel supported and like I can proudly be who I am. Now that meaning is being taken away. There are so many other symbols they could have used. Just upsetting really. Thankyou for speaking out on this❤️

To more perspectives on the Cara, Ashley and G easy thing: 1. Ashley has indirectly said that they are just friends (they have collaborated on a song tgt, maybe they are just collaborating on another) 2. If they are tgt, it is the oldest play in the PR book to promote their song 3. If they are rlly tgt, a lot of fans are pissed not because he is a man but because he is known to be abusive towards his girlfriends and cheats on them (the multiple songs Halsey released about him)

Omg I'm not from the UK, but that NHS stealing our rainbow thing is infuriating... Hearing those stories about homophobic people putting up the rainbow flag for the NHS makes me nauseous
The public actually decided to start putting up the flags themselves. Originally it was just a rainbow symbol and kids were drawing posters with a rainbow (not the flag) and putting them up as kind of “rainbow after the storm” kind of sentiment. Then some dumb fucks decided to use the flag instead. The NHS themselves had nothing to do with the flag use.
"you were my rebound"
"i think i'm your dream come true"
i'm officially using that reply when my future gf uses me as a rebound card
G-Eazy is actually the worst. I don't care that she's with a man. I care that she's with the person who broke Halsey's heart. G-Eazy is not a good dude for other reasons as well. Genuinely I would be over the moon if she were with a celebrity dude known for anything other than being a sleazeball. (Edit: Biphobes who rail against the relationship just because he's a man are disgusting. I've seen some other comments here, and I think it's important that I put this note here.)
Also lesbian celebrity couples that have lasted just because I'm here: Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor, Ellen Page and Emma Porter, Wanda Sykes and Alex Niedbalski/Sykes, Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner, and Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry. I know R and R like to joke, but it's good to have role models!
Final edit: Motherland: Fort Salem is spectacular. Angsty but one of the best shows I've seen to date. I hope you two enjoy it if/when you watch it!
Motherland: Fort Salemis fokin good!
Wait she’s back with G-Eazy again?
I remember someone said to me once ‘why haven’t we got straight pride?’ And I said ‘oh I didn’t know you had to fight for years and years for human rights and to be accepted and to be treated equality’
Also I heard people saying that the peace flag is also rainbow, which is true BUT the peace flag has 7 stripes and the colors and in a different order and from what I see Y'ALL BE HANGING PRIDE FLAGS NOT PEACE FLAGS
„Every lesbian couple breaks up“ *cries in Shannon and Cammie five years later*
“in Shannon and Cammie” 😂😂 I know what you mean but also like I CAN’T BREATHE-💀💀
Cara and ashley arent lesbian couple but they bisexual couple, arent they?
‘no you haven’t, you just hate yourself’
mood
i’m so pissed about the flag thing and i hadn’t even thought twice about it before this video. right that’s it: Rosie for prime minister
Really appreciate you sharing your opinion on this! From both the LGBT community and the NHS's perspective it seems a baffling choice. Having the community's symbol reclaimed, including by anti-LGBT people, kinda seems to be trampling over its history and the safety it's meant to indicate. As for the NHS, I have so much love and respect for NHS workers including those I know in my life, and to me it'd be much more logical, like you said, to hang out the NHS symbol and colours. If this is about showing respect and love for them, why can't we show that directly to them and their symbol and colours?
I can't help but feel like anti-LGBT rhetorics are on the rise and, like you've also said, that people have issues with feeling like the rainbow flag is always being "shoved in their face" (and similar disparaging lines of thinking etc.). Having the pride flag being spread so widely as it is at the moment seems like it's probably gonna antagonise both LGBT and anti-LGBT people, and it's something that could so easily have been avoided. Doesn't sit right with me. Honestly wouldn't be surprised once all this is over if people start complaining and claiming that it was being used as a symbol for the NHS to push left wing agenda, which is simply not true.
(I don't think my first comment posted? Apologies if it did and this is more or less a repeat o-o)
Last time I was this early Ally Hills was writing rose love songs.
Ughh it should have been my local pride today, so I hung out my pride flag this morning to show solidarity since we cant have our celebration. A dog walker asked me if someone in the family was an NHS worker, to which I told them my reasons. He seemed shocked at the fact that I could have a rainbow flag that could represent something other than NHS. It really annoyed me because haven't we always associated a six colour rainbow flag with LGBT+ pride. Like I see a rainbow and I'm like...gay
My mum literally came to her lesbian daughter and said "The gays can never take it back now!" all chirpy and I had to take a minute.
Wow, how disgusting, I'm so sorry.
Like they'd had anything taken from them in the first place 😪
Steven True That was pathetic.
Another recommendation when you have time is She-ra and the Princesses of Power on Netflix.
Great story, representation (hella gay
the tweet about the nhs was literally my girlfriends oh my GODDD :'))
I think one of the larger reasons people hate Ashley Benson with G Eazy is cause he is a huge cheater. He was with Halsey and he cheated on her countless times
Good to know that his personality matches his shit music xD
She need to realise that Gerald is toxic and set that rodent free
Let her be. If she knows her worth, she’ll know what to do.
Finn you learn best from your mistakes when you make them yourself and come back from them on your own. If someone is telling you what to do, you can’t really figure out your own path
@@sapphicsx she isnt a child anymore, i hope she will never regret to that kind of man'girl friend
I love Rose cuz she says out loud what every lesbian thinks
I can proudly say that I watched so many videos from you that I don’t even need subtitles anymore to understand what Rosie is saying, much more efficient than every English lesson I ever had
Was initially a little annoyed about the flag thing but now I've watched this video I am SHOOK
Sending you ladies mad love! It's been a really hard year for you both. Yet you are still out here making videos that brighten people's lives. Thank you so much for bringing more joy into the world. I'm so sorry for the pain you are enduring. You two are incredibly strong and have made my life so much better. No one makes me laugh like you too. When I moved out on my own for the first time I listened to your videos while I unpacked. I felt like I had two friends helping me settle into my new home. I can see how hard it's been for you two but you ladies a persevering and that is Incredible!!! Much love and Thanks! May your hearts heal as much as they can and may you grow stronger from your sorrows. I love you both so much.
How is this the second time in a row that I’m watching Rose and Rosie and stop to watch Rose and Rosie?
the same thing happened to me with this video from a twitter edit to a youtube video 😂
i couldn’t agree more Borris really messed up taking away the flag that people have literally died for just to replace it with a new meaning when the nhs already had a symbol
idk if he cares he’s been homophobic for his whole life
rosie: whyd you assume she was seduced by a man?
rose: yeah men cant do that to women
IM WHEEZING 😭
“it’s no brighton” lol, i lived in brighton in my year abroad and i have this slight notion that all England is openminded like that
buffy the vampire slayer is airing on sky from the start on monday!!!! i’m so excited i was watching there old videos and rose said it was so good so i’m so excited to watch it !!!!
i’m closeted and because i live in a small town, i haven’t seen many other lgbtq+ people out and about, so when i saw the rainbows when i was going for a walk they made me feel so much less alone and i was shocked at how many people were like me. needless to say when i found out the flags didn’t mean what i thought they did, i was very disappointed.
"It's not a swing, it's a bench!"
Don't you mean, Ashley Benchson? 🥁
i’m living for rose winding up rosie ngl
SAME
Rose and Rosie rose daughton you are a LEGEND
Rose: "slept with one of them"
Rosie: "exactly"
I work for the NHS and I was thinking the exact same
I love the way Rose just trolls her and drives the conversation.
Rose triggering Rosie on bi-phobia is the content I signed up for 🤣🤣
Rose: "Fact is, we don't know the facts." - the most truthful sentence I heard in my life. You are a wise woman, Rose.
thank you!!! i’ve been arguing my mum over the pride flag for the last few days. some backstory- shes never allowed me to even be openly gay or buy a pride flag. so today, after an argument, i sent my mum an amazon link and asked her to buy me a pride flag. when she said no, i told her “wait i thought it was for the NHS? like you said? why can’t i get it then, huh?” hahaa so i won an argument and now have a pride flag too lol
I feel the same about the NHS situation but I never would have been able to put it in words like Rose and Rosie.
Rose has learnt the new phrase “pressed”
ikr take a shot everytime she says it...it’s probably not that bad actually.
The thing with g-eazy is that he has been accused of being abusive towards Halsey in her songs and her explanations on said songs. Also he's a Gemini.
Rose and Rosie both are Gemini dude🙊
he's a gemini...and?
A gemini here and we don't claim him
Don't be bitter
@@nightnaughty lol
Last time I was this early Cara and Ashley were still together
Wait they broke up?
Darah Mandon sarcasm at it’s finest 👀👀👀😂😂😂
@@darahmandon1800 yes, and ashley is with g easy now 😁
NHS coming out as LGBT, im interpreting it as being straight is a choice
HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY ROSIE I LOVE YOU ETERNALLY
Im so glad it's not just me that's been unsure about the rainbows. Im fully supportive of the NHS, but the rainbow is for pride, just back off, you know?!
Fr, it feel like the community has been robbed, like they have devalued us by taking the flag because it’s not important who it belonged to in the first place. Can you imagine the outrage if they had used a poppy? People would be screaming that it’s disrespectful but because it’s a pride flag most people outside the community don’t seem to care
Rose: its not like anyone is watching.
The rest of us: spend the weekend stalking RUclips, waiting for the next video.
the rest of us: do we look like a joke...??
@@justforfun-xh1pp well, seeing as how I don't actually know you, I can't really say what you look like.
0:45 Shannon and Cammie😂thank you Rosie for speaking the truth, I’m also not over it
love how fired up rosie is in this video
Just bought pretty much all your guys Merch. Can’t wait for it to arrive!❤️much love Rose and Rosie.!
Rosie: you just hate your self
Rose: yeah
Rosie: and that's fine
lmao felt that
Also guys, just saying but G-eazy really went from Ashley (halsey's real name) to Ashley (Benson). Toxic man living the gay dream.
Plus rosie wouldnt turn him down, lucky lucky man.
I was very confused when I started seeing the rainbows everywhere. How did this actually start anyway? I completely agree, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Especially since the area I live in is an extremely safe conservative hold. They've had landslide victories here for over 20 years and I've never felt particularly accepted. And now everyone is waving rainbow flags and clapping every Thursday. It's all for show. If they really valued the NHS, they should have supported it with their vote.
conservatives are for the nhs..
@@rubyluisa1756 Really? Care to explain the lack of very much needed funding and wage increases over the last decade?
Rose- I identify as a surgeon 🤣🤣🤣
And Motherland: Fort Salem is amazing. I highly recommend it.
Hahahaha “I think the only inspiration I have is myself” -Rose. Facts!
Time CAN’T heal all wounds, I’m still missing Shannon and Cammie
Literally someone on my street started flying the pride flag as a rainbow for the NHS and I kept quiet because I was afraid my family would think I was being unsupportive, but it genuinely made me feel uneasy. The pride flag holds so much meaning for our community and when I see it places it makes me feel supported and like I can proudly be who I am. Now that meaning is being taken away. There are so many other symbols they could have used. Just upsetting really. Thankyou for speaking out on this❤️
Personally I feel that it’s fine and makes sense to use 🌈 for the nhs but not 🏳️🌈 xx
3:29 - 3:36, THAT WAS MIND BLOWING. SO WELL PACED RUclips STYLED EDITING. ITS ALMOST MUSIC TO MY EYES. Man, I'd like to say you guys really nail edit pacing for youtube content.
To more perspectives on the Cara, Ashley and G easy thing:
1. Ashley has indirectly said that they are just friends (they have collaborated on a song tgt, maybe they are just collaborating on another)
2. If they are tgt, it is the oldest play in the PR book to promote their song
3. If they are rlly tgt, a lot of fans are pissed not because he is a man but because he is known to be abusive towards his girlfriends and cheats on them (the multiple songs Halsey released about him)
It's incredibly insensitive of companies who have excess rainbow flag stock to now sell it to another group as though it has no identity/meaning.
Rose and Rosie are the best thing in quarantine right now ❤️
As an American I was so confused when they kept saying NHS because here it means "National Honor Society" ;-;
Same. Also socialized medicine, free medical care ??? 😉
What does NHS stand for?)
random_person Oh, thanks!
I think there will be an article on cara and Ashley having a custody battle for their sex bench
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO TO COME!!!
Lmfao rosie with "every lesbian couple breaks up" i cant because she's right 😭😂
Question: we’ll they ever do couples in animation like she-ra things
I would love it if that happened. I b r e a t h e Catadora and every other gay ship there
Also like princess bubblegum and Marceline
Looks like we have some friends of Mara here.
I completely agree with you about the flag, i dont know why the NHS are using it
@@iliketowatchvideos47 the standard rainbow has 7 colors. if they really want to use the rainbow as a sign of hope then use the standard one. Reusing pride flags is disrespectful
@@iliketowatchvideos47 the thing is people are using the actual pride flag instead of the semi-circle rainbow
@@QuynhNguyen-qc4ng There is a lot of Shit in the world and people are mad for a fu*** rainbow.... When human will be growing ? ...
I am massively looking forward to another lez confess here in quarantine - gotta live through other people's amazing stories when me myself and I are stuck inside plowing through all of netflix and countless boxed of cookies lol
The energy in this video is everything, u guys are so funny together!
“IT WASNT A SWING, IT WAS A BENCH”
I think this is the new 50-50 🤔
“What do you want to get off your chest here”
“Hair mostly”
Same any tips?
Rosie: what are you trying to get off your chest
Rose: hair mostly 😂😂😂
What’s mean?
I thought she said ham.
@@Julie_ao I watched it again, she did say hair.
julie a type of average found by adding up all the values and dividing by the number of values
I just feel like Rose belongs on a classic British sitcom. 9:45 - this moment feels like something out of The Thick of It or Green Wing even. I want to see her on my tv one day
The same thing is happening in Canada! Everything is rainbow and I was so confused in the beginning of COVID, thinking there was a bunch of people coming out. So frustrating
