Tesco has said it is “committed to diversity” after releasing a gender-neutral children’s birthday card.
The supermarket stocked its shelves with a card which featured a rainbow design on the front with the words “for our wonderful child”. It was initially praised for its “gender-neutral” birthday card and design, however, after one shopper shared the card in a Facebook group to say they had “found this gender-neutral card in Tesco today”, a debate was sparked among parents.
Some were quick to applaud Tesco for its 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.
