The organizers of a petition against having trans/non-binary performers in the Thanksgiving Day Parade say it is 'quickly picking up momentum' and want to hammer the message home with a boycott of the sponsor, Macy's.
As of Wednesday morning, more than 29,000 people had inked the petition against the 'non-binary and transgender extravaganza' in the parade of floats and balloons, which will wow New York City on November 23.
Macy's has not commented directly on the campaign, which takes aim at the appearance of trans/non-binary Broadway performers Justin David Sullivan and Alex Newell, among the parade's cast of thousands.
Supporters of the campaign say they're tired of liberal corporations flaunting a 'woke' agenda in their faces. Trans rights groups bemoan another conservative outfit 'throwing a fit' to rally people against LGBTQ+ rights.
Speaking exclusively with DailyMail.com, Monica Cole, director of One Million Moms, said her campaign is 'picking up traction' and urged consumers to go one step further by refusing to spend money at Macy's.
Conservatives have signed urging Macy's to no longer push the LGBTQ agenda in the name of entertainment,' Cole said in a statement.
'By including non-binary performers, potentially exposing millions of viewers to this liberal nonsense, Macy's is leaving conservative families with no other choice than to not watch this parade and no longer patronize their stores either.

I rarely shopped there but had a charge card. When they dropped Trumps line in 2016 or whenever it was, I cut my card up and mauled it along with a letter telling them to close my account due to their dropping Trump.
Perspective...
There are two performers in two of the many Broadway numbers that are trans.
I am willing to bet right here and now that there have been trans performers in previous years that didn’t get mentioned because being trans wasn’t fashionable.
If Macy’s tried to keep these two performers from their parade likely ALL of the Broadway performers would refuse to participate in the parade. While that might make some of you all happy, it is a big part of the Macy’s parade.
Will I watch the parade? Probably not...I have better things to do. But if you are worried about “protecting your children”, I doubt your kids will even see, or notice, these two freak jobs.
The Macy's parade has long lost it's shine. Now it is an agenda driven infomercial for the gay white way and how cool NYC is compared to the unwashed masses in the rest of the country. It's boring to watch and it hasn't been on my TV for years now.
Headcounts of customers would tell management if they have a problem.
“When I was a kid, many, many years ago, the Macy’s parade was mystical, a mix of marching bands, balloons and floats.”
Yes, and early all of the paraders were full-time Macy employees.
“early” = “nearly”
I’m in.
I hate parades and any excuse to not see one is great...
Be great if no one showed up or watched...
remember when Ellen Degenerate destroyed JC Pennys?
even if conservatives started a new parade, obama judges would force them to accept trannies and fags and we’re right back where we started. That’s how the left operates.
To that I would take the Andrew Jackson stance. The judges can make their decision, fine. Let them come and enforce it.
And kiss me where it counts while they’re at it.
And they never will.
I’ve heard the Bud Light phenomenon as not a “boycott”, but actually a “divorce”
Their customers are not coming back.
Target’s taking a longer time to fail but it’ll happen. If Macy’s wants to trans customers and not the rest of us - that’s fine. Their loss.
