Marks & Spencer has launched an LGBT sandwich

Marks and Spencer has launched a new sandwich to celebrate Pride.

The LGBT delight will be filled with lettuce, guacamole, bacon and tomato.

The design of the packaging will be rainbow-coloured to represent the movement, Mirror Online reports.

And best of all, its all for a good cause as the retailer will be donating £10,000 to Akt, a LGBTQ+ youth homelessness charity and €1000 to BeLongG, an Irish youth service.

The sandwich is already available to buy so you can go out and get your hands on it now.

Originally announced on  Facebook  page TrendyTen, the post has since received a lot of comments from users - with divided opinions.

While some applauded the brand for continuing to campaign for LGBT+ rights, others remained sceptical.

One person wrote on  Twitter  “It's nice to see M&S fighting bi-erasure by making us the best bit of this sandwich,” while another said “Love this from @marksandspencer Respect! Live & let live...looks delicious too".

Despite the retailer's good intentions, other's stated “LGBT sandwich. These companies are really just taking any swing to seem ‘inclusive’”, while another Twitter critic commented: “Equating us to a sandwich? I can’t imagine them doing this with other marginalised groups.”
