Pride and prejudice: Macy’s yanks gay display, blasted by both sides

Macy’s department store found itself mired in a fierce national debate between conservatives and gay activists when it bowed to complaints and removed part of a window display marking Boston Pride Week.

..... right on the mark....!! I am just sick and tired of the "gay" community trying to shove their perverted agenda down the throats of the straight community.....! opps; um, er, sorry.... probably a poor choice of words there....

Not in my recent experience. The words they choose to use in this article alone are heavily biased. They have definitely prostituted themselves to the queers. Just by comparison to Socialists World (aka Boston Globe) do they appear conservative. Kind of like comparing Hillary to McCain.

****************

You're certainly right in this case. The Globe's article is very similar to this one. As for other recent Herald articles, I couldn't say.

I just don't understand "pride" in an abnormal sexual behavior.

Perversion loves company. The more company they get, the more better they can feel about their perversion.

Yawn.....

In all honesty, I wouldn't have even known that the skirt the guy had on was "a gay flag" if I hadn't read it in the article. Nor would I have noticed the supposedly "enlarged breasts" on the male mannequins. Somebody has way too much time on their hands, "examining mannequin displays for homo characteristics".

Store displays are supposed to be avant garde, eye-catching, even "out there" to grab your attention and get you to notice them, so what do you expect?

However, having said that -- if the display showed the two mannequins in some kind of sexual or odd "affectionate" pose that I would have difficulty explaining to a six-year old, then I would be pissed -- but it didn't!

I personally think that this whole "homo display" thing is a "tempest in a teapot" -- and it has gotten far more attention than it deserved, which is precisely what the gay display designer wanted!
