When she went to check out, she says an employee at the store told her: 'We're not doing this,' Evi revealed to local NBC affiliate, KING5. The teen claimed that the employee then tore up the birth certificate and threw it away. Evi's mom, Amber, told KING5 that she called Build-A-Bear's corporate office and was offered a $20 gift card for the experience.

SHAME ON Build-a-Bear ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ


‘Remember there’s absolutely no agenda to GROOM your kids:’ Toy store Build-a-Bear divides customers with new ‘RuPaul’ DRAG QUEEN BEAR

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4143878/posts

Build-a-Bear Workshop’s new RUPAUL DRAG QUEEN BEAR has divided customers who claim THE STORE IS ‘GROOMING’ CHILDREN.

The glamorous bear comes with a curly blonde wig, gold sequin dress, and gold pumps AND INCLUDES THE ‘RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE’ LOGO ON THE BEAR’S PAW.

‘Start your enginesโ€”RUPAUL BEAR IS READY TO SASHAY INTO YOUR COLLECTION,’ the item’s description on ‘The Bear Cave’ website โ€” an 18+ section of the Build-a-Bear site.

The stuffed animal immediately caused outrage online with many calling out the business for selling the bear amid growing controversy regarding DRAG PERFORMANCES and children around the U.S.


‘”Cover BEAR! Put the fur in your walk. Head to paw, let your whole body talk,”’ the website reads.

‘Two iconic pop culture institutions join forces for this one-of-a-kind collector’s item made in tribute to the world’s most famous drag queen,’ it continues.

‘Category is teddy bear realness with RuPaul Bear’s signature wig and gold sequin dress included,’ the description reads.

MTV was also using this Drag Queen Ru Paul to Pervert Normal Society..... they’d run
commercial after commercial for the show with that Poofter and HIS favorite Drag Queens.


Disgusting.

A few years ago that commercial was on relentlessly when I was staying at a hotel from time-to-time while working a job

Always with “12:Bold New Queens...” or some such garbage ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

It was like a window to Sodom and Gomorrah if even for 30 seconds during the movie

And Build-a-Bear got onboard with that garage? Yikes ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ


Genesis 19:4-11
King James Version

4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,

7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, AND HE WILL NEEDS BE A JUDGE: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

People who want to further this agenda
are flying in the face of Almighty God


I pray ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ›โœ๏ธ๐Ÿ™ that they
Read, Learn and Repent of this Abomination

2nd Peter 2:6-9
New King James Version

6 AND TURNING THE CITIES OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH INTO ASHES, condemned them to destruction, MAKING THEM AN EXAMPLE to those who afterward would live ungodly;

7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was OPPRESSED BY THE FILTHY CONDUCT OF THE WICKED

8 (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, TORMENTED HIS RIGHTEOUS SOUL from day to day BY SEEING AND HEARING THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS)โ€”

9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the Day of Judgment,

Looks like Build-a-Bear no longer offers the Homosexual Agenda RuPaul Drag Queen Bear

Still, SHAME ON BUILD-A-BEAR for that incident and this incident

That employee should be gone


Matthew 18:6

Evangelical Heritage Version

6 โ€œBut, if anyone causes one of these
little ones who believe in Me to sin,
it would be better for him to have a huge
millstone hung around his neck and
to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

My deceased cousinโ€™s name was, Charles Kirk and am pretty sure it is a very common name. So I guess it is now a banned name?

So, a teenage girl wants a teddy bear with a birth certificate? She wants to be a furry mom?

Parents! Please be sure she can read before doing anything else.

I went and read every comment at the Daily Fail, and there were some pretty nasty ones there.
Thankfully, there were many people to smack the lefty idiots back in place (not that this is ever effective against them).
The lefties are too damn stupid to learn anything.

During the news5 non-interview, she mentioned a couple of times that the “employee” was the female store manager...

I meant the birth certificate, of course.
Don’t think the bear would fit too well, ;^)

I can’t believe she still paid for the bear. It would have been left sitting at the checkout lane if it had been me. And it never said whether she eventually got the birth certificate with Charlie’s name on it. And finally, retraining wouldn’t have been enough. I would have expected the bear to be free, and the employee fired. That how you retrain people. Someone’s head rolls and other take notice.
