Tesco praised for gender neutral children's birthday card, but not everyone is happy

Tesco has been praised for a new 'gender neutral' birthday card design. One shopper shared the card in a budget Facebook group saying they had 'found this gender neutral in Tesco today'.

It features a rainbow design on the front with the words 'For our wonderful child'. Others were quick to praise the card, including one shopper who said: "Well done Tesco for living in the modern world, some of us have moved on from the dark ages."

While another said: "Something for everyone, as life should be."

But not everyone was as impressed with the card, with many reacting with laughing emojis and 'ignorant' comments, sparking the admins of the group to turn the comments off.

Others responded to the negativity, with one saying: "The card is lovely. If you cannot accept your child for who they are you shouldn’t have kids. If you have an issue with this card you’re the problem in this world."

And another adding: "Wow the hate in these comments, some people are LGBTQ+. Get. Over. It."

One follower said she wouldn't have even considered the card as gender neutral at all, saying: "I wouldn't have even thought of it as gender neutral. Its a beautiful card. That's just the adult forcing their views.

"No wonder children suffer so much mental health when there's confusion right from the start. It's actually not kids that need the help but the adults."

While another agreed, saying: "Quite agree. I don't see gender here at all, my opinion is rainbow baby but that's me."
