Streets ice cream is being pressured to rename its iconic “Golden Gaytime” brand after a member of the LGBTQIA+ community deemed the biscuit and ice-cream treat to be “offensive” and “outdated.”

But pushback against the move is gaining support by those who say it is simply ‘cancel culture’  “gone way too far,” according to a survey of 45,000 people by news.com.au which showed 98 percent of Australians surveyed believed the name was “harmless.”
