Not too long ago, I read an online screed by a perpetually offended gay person. He took *Macy's* to task. Apparently, he was registering for his wedding, and Macy's has NO gay or inter-racial couples represented in their wedding literature.

The Horror.

Anyhoo, I made a mental note. Macy's has taken all of my JCP business, anyway. Their product quality is a little better, and I like their prices more.

A pox on JCP. Too bad, too. They used to be a good place to shop.

there is a maketing reason for not advertising homosexuals. The second a homosexual couple is portrayed it becomes toxic to having “groom traffic”. Grooms who are repelled are a good reason to cancel weddings. Also a teeeeeeeny tiny tiny miniscule part of the 2% who claim homosexuality (m and f) are actually interested in alternative weddings.

I could almost swear that just last week I heard MACY’s was also laying off employees, 2500, I believe.
