In a move that's left the town of Harmony Creek in a state of utter, delightful chaos, Mayor Mildred McMillan, a woman whose political career is as predictable as a Taylor Swift album release, has banned all rainbow decorations from public spaces. Simultaneously, she's transformed her office into what can only be described as a technicolor explosion of LGBTQIA+ pride, complete with a glitter cannon (for emergencies, of course).

The official statement, released alongside a frankly dazzling video featuring the mayor lip-syncing to 'Dancing Queen' in a sequined rainbow jumpsuit, cited concerns about 'visual overstimulation' and the potential for 'rainbow fatigue'. Critics, however, are less concerned about the eyes and more concerned about the sheer audacity of it all. One resident, Barnaby Butterfield, was quoted saying, "It's like she's trying to trigger us! I mean, first she takes away our rainbow crosswalks, then she bathes her office in the stuff! It’s almost… *too* woke."

Meanwhile, LGBTQ+ activists are divided. Some applaud the mayor's bold (and slightly confusing) strategy, viewing it as a masterful act of subversive performance art. Others suspect a more sinister motive, suggesting the mayor is engaging in what some are calling "Rainbow-Washing": a cynical attempt to appear supportive of the community while subtly undermining their efforts through petty bureaucratic measures.

The situation has only been further complicated by the emergence of #MayorMcMillanRainbowChallenge, a social media campaign encouraging citizens to decorate their homes with even MORE rainbow paraphernalia – a direct, and undeniably hilarious, defiance of the mayor’s ban. The hashtag currently features a disturbing number of pictures of cats in rainbow tutus.

Experts are baffled. Political scientists are scrambling to update their textbooks. And frankly, we're just here for the glitter. The sheer, unapologetic, rainbow-fueled glitter.
