    I ordered 50 for my high school gaypride club
    Does anyone know if I have to collect them or will they be delivered?

    • Scozza on 28/03/2016 - 19:18

      Just from looking at the form, I'm going to assume they'll be delivered, but I'm not too sure. Perhaps they may have sent an email with more information?

    • SwedishChef on 29/03/2016 - 01:48

      They'll be delivered, but depends on when you ordered them. I got a bunch for my sports club, but it only came early last week.

      <<insert image of Helen Lovejoy>>

      The Catholic Church priests were thinking of the children. That's the problem.
      Hypocrisy at its finest. We want to stop this abomination, but prey on the ones we claim to be protecting?

      I went to a Catholic school and attended Sunday School. I nodded along when I was meant to and I have to say that most Christians lead good lives and do try to love one another. There's a handful that ruin it for the rest and give religion a bad name, much the way ISIS isn't a fair representation of all Muslims.

    I can't believe the comments here. It's disgusting. What happened to keeping comments on topic and civil? No-one needs your opinion on this, other than 'is this a bargain?' and possibly 'what shoes would these suit best?'. Don't post offensive stuff/hate speech/shitpost/off-topic personal opinions on a f**king website about FINDING BARGAINS. If you want to do that, there are forums for that. Don't post homophobic shit on here, and don't post anti-religious posts on a Christian eBook deal, or any other deal.

    Grow the f**k up. And guys, please don't feed the trolls. Just neg and report, and move on.

    My love to you all. It seems some of you particularly need it.

    Do you really need laces to prove you're not homophobic?

    How ridiculous.

    • toristo on 28/03/2016 - 22:51
      +15

      No. You don't. But if you're a 16yo kid who happens to excel at Football, you're probably going to be very reluctant to come out. Given youth suicide rates, I think anything to make a more inclusive world is a good start. Imagine if one person decided not to commit suicide as a result of this campaign. Would that then be so ridiculous? Imagine if those ridiculous rainbow laces saved the life of your son, daughter, niece, nephew…?

    • [Deactivated] on 29/03/2016 - 12:09

      How ridiculous is a bunch of straight men needing to prove their masculinity by bashing a single gay man?

      Unless you have been a victim of homophobic abuse you will never know the sort of constant abuse that drives many youth to suicide. If you ain't got nothing positive to say - say nothing!

    What is with all these trolls on this thread…

    I'm more worried about not being able to claim the deal because I might be too busy this week to pick it up from the store :P

    • [Deactivated] on 29/03/2016 - 12:10

      Send your children (dogs/cats) in to collect them.

  • Almost Banned on 29/03/2016 - 00:43

    I want to say something about the underlying rationale of this deal. Frankly I am not convinced by the data.
    The Campaign quotes from a "2015 international study" to support its claim that:
    46% of participants believed that LGBs are not accepted in sporting culture (versus 1% that did)
    73% of gay men surveyed felt that homophobia is more common in team sports than other parts of society
    84% of people who took part said homophobic jokes occur “all the time”, “often” or “sometimes”.
    These claims come from the "Out in the Fields" study which apparently was a study of 9500 people from English speaking countries - 75% of which were apparently not heterosexual. The study was commissioned by the Bingham Cup Sydney 2014 (the world cup of gay rugby). This is far from a random or representative sample of the sporting community.
    So, essentially what is shows is that a less than half the surveyed english speakers believe that LGBs are not accepting in sport, team sports can be more unaccepting of homosexuality than some other areas of society, and gay slurs sometimes occur. Hardly groundbreaking research.
    While bullying and hatred is to be avoided in every aspect of life - not just sport - I think the underlying argument that homophobia is rampant in sport is not really supported by the study relied on.
    That said - hey, free shoelaces!

      I think a lot of straight men/women (especially sports players) seem to think that homosexuals want to have sex with everyone of their own sex. That nonsense is like implying that every straight person must have sex with everyone of the opposite sex.

      More focus needs to be on the game and less about what happens with peoples personal sex life.

    aw my name and shame list got deleted. ah well I should say this, what a Great freebie this is & 4 a Good cause +++++ vote

      Ah the irony, name and shame lists are exactly what they used to do to gay people.

      • HangryCakeStore on 29/03/2016 - 09:44

        was shaming them for their hate of gays, you’re talking about shaming people for who they are

    So a deal regarding free rainbow coloured laces turns into a shit show of everyone fronting their beliefs, hate towards homosexuality and religion. This is not the OzBargain I joined 3 years ago.

    The laces are 140cm long, in case anyone's interested.

    • [Deactivated] on 29/03/2016 - 12:20

      Size only matters if you are a size queen.

  • mathematicalcoffee on 30/03/2016 - 10:01

    Has anyone had any luck picking up laces from Rebel/Amart in Queen St Mall, Brisbane? Thinking of heading over after work today but if anyone knows that they've run out already I won't bother (the linked page is updated saying they've run out of laces for clubs & so on, but that some local stores might still have some left).

  • bargaingirl on 01/04/2016 - 14:30

    Received an emailed today letting me know they had run out of stock.

    Oh well, really wanted to give them to my kids soccer team.

    • Scozza on 01/04/2016 - 16:35

      Yep, unfortunately it seems the bulk orders are out of stock, but the individual freebies are still available at some Rebel and Amart sport stores if you're interested in those :)

        Thanks for letting me know. Will try my luck tomorrow at Rebel.
