"Being homophobic is sooo gay," read one of the posters. While another read: "People think I'm gay which I think is cool".
One poster was criticised for using the word gay as a slur. "The real shame is the posters are beautifully designed, some with great messages, but you cannot use gay as a pejorative on LGBT material," wrote gay blogger The Guyliner.
The Guyliner added that the posters seemed to congratulate heterosexual allies and appeared to be from the perspective of a straight person:

Pride in London has since apologised for the posters.
"It is clear we misjudged the content of some of the messages in this poster series, undermining the individuality, importance, and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community," read a statement posted on the organisation's website. "This was never our intention, and we are genuinely sorry to have played any part in something that appears to devalue our own community, and have removed these four images from our campaign."
