Why do they need to be treated as a separate part of society? Like Cherie said, why not one for women? And one for people with brown eyes? And a blue one maybe, for people who vote Tory.

Well I'm not at all the only person on here who has said I don't object to this at all.
So why I've been responded to over others I find odd
I stated I'd personally STILL buy only the red poppy
I'm well aware what they stand for, two of my Brothers, not in wartime obviously, served in the RAF.
Quite honestly and unfortunately people in their thinking and attitude changes, I'd rather see more awareness made to the cause and more sold so more funds raised.
If this particular poppy or even other variations of the poppy were not wanted by some, then none or few will sell.
I can't however speak for the gay community, I'm not one of their number.
You'd need to ask someone who is.
However in my view all groupings and indeed individuals are part of society.
