Main door of Macy's Department Store in downtown Boston. Note the display
window at bottom left.
View of the display window from the street, clearly and blatantly celebrating
"gay pride week" with two homosexual men.
Very bizarre. One mannequin is wearing what looks like some
of rainbow skirt. And when was the last time you saw male store
mannequins with breasts like those? What's that all about?
Call as many of these numbers below as you have time for. Leave a message if you can''t get through, but keep trying until you get to a person. And continue calling every day until you know this is taken down. (There are also email addresses below.)
Your message to Macy's is simple: Take this display down immediately.
Don't put up with any double-talk, or excuses. Macy's seems to think they can offend you with impunity. They may tell you they'll write you a letter about this. Tell them you're not interested in a letter -- or any "explanations" of their position -- just take this down immediately. And if you're in downtown Boston we encourage you to personally visit the Macy's Boston office, which is in the lower level (just below street level) in the store, just behind the Juniors Department.
Even if you don't live in Massachusetts this is important.

(From Bay Windows homosexual newspaper, 2004) Here's a photo from the Boston Pride
Parade of (we're not kidding) women who have had their breasts surgically removed, and
are marching as bare-chested "men." This is what Macy's is celebrating!
Macy's owns Foley's.
My Mom can't stand Macy's. But it's because they bought out and ruined Filenes, according to her.
"There are only two things that come out of Boston ..."
As mhking is famous for saying, "just damn."
What do you expect? Only gay people and women shop at Macy's anyhow. No real man would be caught dead in the place.
This is not acceptable in the America born of Washington, Jefferson, and Madison.
Just eeeewww!
"Macy's? NOT! You bitches know I buy all my clothes at Kronk's Codpiece and Leather Cuffs Salon."
Massachusetts. No surprise here. Waiting to see if they will do this at the Macys at Newport Center in JC.
I have long ago stopped shopping at Macy's. They play too many pricing games. I'd rather spend my money at Lord & Taylor or similar stores if I can't get what I need at a discounter.
I've never been in a Macy's, doubt I ever will. But if advertising to homosexuals in Boston scandalizes some folks, then they seriously need to get over it.
A few thousand envelopes containing cut up Macy's credit cards might do the trick.
I assure you Gay men probably spend about 100 times more shopping for clothes than the tiny population of people sufficiently offended by this (especially in the areas Macy has stores, and especially in Boston) so I doubt Macy's could care less about the reaction of anyone else.
