‘Forever Pride’ Declared as State of Permanent Celebration Begins
Wembley to hold series of rallies and torchlight processions.
London: In a landmark announcement hailed as “the final victory of inclusive values,” the government has unveiled Forever Pride: a permanent rebranding of the nation as a single, unified rainbow.
All major cities will now feature corridors of Progress flags arranged in perfectly symmetrical formation — a dazzling display designed by architectural firm Al Spier & Partners.
The programme launches next week with a series of torchlit affirmation marches, culminating in a mass recitation of Stonewall’s 25 Points of Harmony at Wembley Stadium.
A public denunciation of J.K. Rowling is scheduled midway through the rally. A Two Minutes Hate and ceremonial book bonfire are also being considered, pending health and safety approval.
Disagreement to be handled sensitively
Citizens expressing unease with Forever Pride may apply for Quiet Reflection Leave, pending mandatory re-sensitisation. (The Islamic community remains exempt.)
Recent participants include a lesbian academic, a gender-critical atheist, and a bisexual man who asked a question.
Internal memos from the Ministry of Visibility describe these measures as “firm but necessary.”
“It’s not a purge,” said a spokesperson. “It’s an aesthetic reordering.”
Ideological colour-coding
The state has introduced mandatory guidelines for the public sector, including rainbow-coloured lanyards and the proposed adoption of gender-neutral fist salutes at future civic parades.
A spokesperson denied reports that high-heeled jackboots are being considered for formal occasions.
Forward, with feeling
Critics have suggested the initiative’s reliance on spectacle, uniformity, and public denunciation bears uncomfortable echoes of certain mid-century regimes. Officials declined to comment, but did unveil a new flag before having the critic arrested.
Asked when the celebrations might end, a senior civil servant reportedly laughed and replied, “There are no plans for this to end. Ever.”
This feels weirdly close to the truth – borderline satire.
