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 there discussion or consultaion about the name change to Pink Lady? I feel that it's diappointing, and disrespectful to our male members, after all, men do get breast cancer too, And as an organisation, I thought the aim was to be more inclusive, not less.
I'll be interested to hear your thoughts

Nikki, Melbourne - onemargieMemberI think the pink lady and blue man picture above at the forum look like they belong on a public toilet door I’ve always thought that to be honest about the pink lady one!. I think they could be far more creative and modern and link the two figures with a rainbow or perhaps the two figures could wear rainbow bandanas ?? They could hold a competition for the new logo and name and have a cool prize for winning I’m sure some of their corporate sponsors could get on board with a decent prize. There are a lot of creative people out there with great imaginations who could think of something really cool for sure. I reckon. Just a thought. Margie xx

- AfraserMemberConsider it done, short, exquisitely polite and to the point. Will use the old fashioned format (paper!). Much harder to overlook. Will advise.
