Beard campaigners boycott Antwerp World Beard and Moustache Championships
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers which campaigns against beardism, irrational prejudice against the hirsute, has said that it is boycotting the World Beard and Moustache Championship in Antwerp this weekend because it encourages hirsute topiary
The BLF says that while the Championships are fun and do important charitable work they send entirely the wrong message about facial hair in 2019
The vast majority of categories at the Championships relate not to the growing of facial hair but to its cutting and trimming with considerable involvement of hairdressers and shaving companies.
BLF organiser Keith Flett said, beards should not be some kind of facial equivalent of a prize hedge. If people want to cut and shape their facial hair we have no objection but it is not the positive image of the hirsute that we seek to encourage
