Disappointed in The Beacon's name change
Hi All It's been a long time since I posted. I've been thinking about this, and watching to see if anyone else commented on this. I don't know if somewhere along the way I've missed something. Was th...

I’m heartened by the amazing commentary and support from the online community on this topic...something is happening out there and the drums are beating loud and hard and it’s not just a couple of old men banging on this time.
So many genuine attempts to pull BCNA into the 21st century in terms of an image and logo that is more inclusive and highlights the fact that men can get breast cancer, but at the same time recognises we are the “1 percenters”. We are however part of the story and although corporate re brandings cost money and have risks associated with it, I can only look at McGrath Foundation with great admiration as they have an image and logo that works so well.
As one of the couple of men along with @traveltext who have been advocating for many years now for change it seems our experience with BCNA is two steps forward, and then another back. Don’t get me wrong, we are very thankful for the work they have done in raising Male Breast Cancer awareness but we have never had any success in addressing the elephants in the room..the pink lady and the lack of blue. BCNA please find something that works universally.
As one of the online forum mentioned it’s time BCNA put on its listening ears as this topic is the hottest by far.
I would be really interested to see where in “State of the nation” order of things this topic sits because for me and many in this forum it appears there is somewhat of a corporate identity mismatch that needs addressing for everyone to move forward.
As an aside I will be registering a protest vote as I politely unsubscribe from future editions of the pink lady publication...how disappointing
