Wasn’t JC Penney targeted by some conservatives, because they were pushing homosexuality in ads, or somehow pushing the gay agenda?
Waste of advertising dollars by clueless executives. Why would gays ever shop at JCP???
Its not and never will be trendy, flamboyant or camp enough for them.
JC Penney wasn't...their gay friendly CEO Ron Johnson was. He was fired last year and replaced with the CEO he replaced. Penney's is working very hard to regain the trust and respect of their customers and they're doing a decent job of it, although it may be too little too late. They showed marked YOY same store improvement in bot Oct and Nov bur fell short in Dec. Of course retail in general had an awful December.
For my part I hope JC Penney recovers and retakes their place in the marketplace. I know a lot of great people who work for them and I'd hate to see them lose their jobs. My wife worked for Penney's for 25 years and they were very good to her. Penney's always treated their employees well...much better than the average retailer.

With a laser-like focus.
Yes, and rightfully so.
No. Not “targeted”. I shopped at Penney’s for years; had their credit card. Then, they “transformed” into a junky, crowded place with racks and racks of cheap imports and quirky ads featuring “Ellen DeGeneres”.. then, stuck to their guns; then, quickly, transformed into a sparsely furnished place unable to make up their minds. - Shopping is exhausting enough without all the drama. Maybe one day they’ll settle down and decide to act normal. I don’t like sex being shoved in my face at every turn.
