Fuck Swatch. They signed up to kiss gay dicks and tried to force
acceptance on another country. Grind all that gay shit up and then
burn it.

Malaysian authorities raided 11 Swatch stores on May 13 and 14, seizing
rainbow watches from the company’s Pride collection amid the country’s
growing crackdown on LGBTQ expression, according to a local media report.

Swatch confirmed on Tuesday (May 23) that officials had seized 164
watches, AP reported, because they “bore LGBT connotations.” The raid was
led by Malaysia’s Ministry of Home Affairs. It is unclear what the
ministry plans to do with the watches; Quartz contacted the agency for
comment, but it did not immediately respond.

The Swiss watchmaker plans to replace and continue to display the watches, according to a Guardian report.

“We strongly contest that our collection of watches using rainbow colors
and having a message of peace and love could be harmful for whomever,”
said Nick Hayek, the Swatch Group CEO, in a statement emailed to Quartz.
He added: “This has nothing political.”

Coldplay also sparked an LGBTQ controversy in Malaysia
The Swatch raids occurred just days after Nasrudin Hassan, the head of the conservative Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), called on the government to
cancel Coldplay’s November concert in Kuala Lumpur. Chris Martin,
Coldplay’s lead vocalist, is a staunch supporter of LGBTQ rights.

Chris Martin is a cock sucker too. Fuck him. Throw him out of a plane
over shark infested waters.
