## Resource

Prague’s trolleybus campaign sparked outrage after wrapping three vehicles in purple and white with the slogan “I identify as a trolleybus,” drawing sharp criticism from LGBTQ+ groups who say it echoes harmful transphobic language. While the transport company defends it as playful personification celebrating eco-friendly transit, critics argue even unintentional mockery can deepen prejudice. Former officials join the chorus calling the slogan inappropriate, underscoring how advertising language can unintentionally wound marginalized communities.
