Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
It's posts like this that show where we differ so drastically.
First, who cares what a urban department store does.
Second, since the very first indoor mall was opened in London, the mall culture has been heavily influenced by gays lesbians trannies etc.
Third, you are talking about the fashion world, if you don't want to promote gay commerce, go wear homespun canvas britches.
Fourth, It's quite obvious that the display designer took a "misses" manequin torso and added all men's body parts. funny in a juvenile way and nothing original.
Fifth, Private commerce. Macy's puts displas up like that, in front of one of the "man refuges" where wives/gf's/moms/daughters drop off their men to go shopping, and Macy's will lose out in the long term. Each article in that display is now "gay", like pink popped collar polo shirts. All going to liquidators at the end of season.
Now, I'd say having to explain to a child why the daddy mannequin has boobs can be uncomfortable, the world won't revolve around protecting the parent's right to not be offended by that display.
I'm confused, EDUCATED and WEALTHY... this sounds like a statement from someone who would post on DU. Just like things I hear from the left..."We know we are right because WE are enlightened and educated"...blah, blah, blah. To be smart and have worked hard in your life to become "wealthy" doesn't mean you have to lose your convictions and embrace the homosexual agenda, that is ravishing our kids today.
My old friend you delve into the jar of debate wherein you scoop and slather all about the dressing on the meat with your casual and careless use of the word homophobes in the same and certain sense of the bread on which it rests the term puritan and its ancient suspicion; the simple fact remains, a sandwich needs to be partaken neatly and whole.
A man's measure, as it were?
We have no right not to be wronged while it is wrong to deny a right, am I wrong?
Just an excuse to find someone to go to bed with. Case Closed.
Bert and Ernie wrapped in a sham still only make up one pillow!
Anything else you'd like to drop at this time?
I always print out the stuff I don't want people to read.
Macy's is now Gacy's?
Nope. Just one.
This shouldnt be a problem.
Freedom of speech applies to everyone.
I dont care if they show gay pride week. If it bothers you, dont shop at macys.
In the name of fairness nad tolerance, will Macy's also celebrate the Ex-gay in a display window?
Otherwise they are offending hundreds of thousands of those who have overcome sames sex attraction!
Sorry, but Macy's bought out May Department Stores. Filene's and Kaufmann's are going away, to be replaced by Macy's.
"Gay Pride" will go over well in the heartland. Not!
