This all sounds like a ploy to make more money.

I saw a TV commercial for Kay Jewelers this morning. In truth I have never before seen an ad quite like it.

It is needless to say that I will never purchase anything at Kay in this lifetime. I am uncertain if that Company is local or national. I was actually stunned at what they broadcast. Such a production was literally inconceivable just a few short years ago. Heck, to me, that was the case yesterday.

I didn’t even know there was such a thing as queer cookies.

Enjoy I guess.

So, the sodomites kept them in business for a couple more days . . . how soon before the “Going out of business” sign goes up?

My wife missed lunch that day due to a neck/back problem.

Apparently, your approach didn’t work for those at the lunch.

More than one woman in that group complained to the manager about poor service and food.

These stories don’t include what was posted.

The caption on twitter was “More LOVE, Less Hate. Happy Pride to all our LGBTQ friends! All lovers of cookies and happiness are welcome here” [rainbow]”

Point being - if you don’t support LGBTQ, you are a hater. Brushes everyone who isn’t 100% on board with Hate moniker. Save the virtue signaling.

They can sell any color cookies they want. Fine with that. Please don’t label those who disagree as haters. That was my issue.

Plus once this blows over the original customers will not come back and the new found customers will be gone.

Don't be coy! What are you talking about? What was it about the commercial that was noteworthy?

They will soon figure out that the gay support is limited as the gay population is minuscule.
