A British online retailer has pulled a line of LGBTQ merch mocking Christians after receiving a wave of complaints and backlash.
Former brick-and-mortar mainstay and now online-only retailer Debenhams decided to carry a line of merchandise from Grindcore, an alternative clothing brand. Late last week, one of their shirts went viral online, drawing enough complaints from Christian and conservative groups that the retailer pulled the shirt from its digital shelves.
The purple shirt, which retailed for around $50, had the caption “A Gay in a Manger’ and featured LGBTQ-themed rainbow lights emitting from baby Jesus, suggesting the Lord was queer since birth.
Remarking on the controversy, prominent former conservative MP and devout Roman Catholic Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg noted that ‘Debenhams would not mock Islam in this way.’
In light of the uproar, Debenhams said in a statement, “We are aware that a product line featured on our marketplace has raised some questions. In line with our policies, we are reviewing the products and have temporarily paused them while we investigate.”
Grindcore followed suit, sharing, “As a small business, we are always open to listening to feedback. We have now removed the highlighted products, our apologies…the intention was not to offend or insult anyone.”

They’re lying to get out of trouble. They wouldn’t dare mock ISlime and their false moon deity allah with his pedophile prophet Mad Mo for obvious reasons.

I was thinking the same thing.
I dare them to sell a shirt that says “A Gay in Mecca” and that has an image of Mohammed.

How did Mary and Joseph know that Jesus was 8lb 2oz when he was born?
They had a weigh in a manger.

As I've said before: This is nothing short of an open-air blatant rebellion against Almighty God. Just like Genesis chapter 19.
They realized they had a big chance to promote homosexuality WORLDWIDE - so they went for it.
There is a determined effort to normalize this all over the world 🌏🌎🌍.
I am encouraging people not to attend nor support this stuff.
Just like those blindly following a false prophet
preaching a 'post-Christian' America
The apostasy and the Days of Lot are upon us.
As prophesied by Jesus Christ Himself.Do NO harm, Christians, but reject this Godless Reprobate Agenda. (For the thread)

With new gay bars opening up all the time, and every bar in the city accepting gay clientele without so much as an eye-blink, the very definition of “gay bar” is much more fluid. On top of all that, there are some gay bars in Tel Aviv that cater specifically to certain fetishes, host drag shows, and beyond.
I have heard Tel Aviv described as the gayest city in the world.

Fags in rags pretending to be evangelical. Chase the fags out of the church. Period.

That would be pretty scary considering that Sodom and Gomorrah apparently were at the south end of the Dead Sea - of all of the places in the world ...

That sounded like one really sick individual selling those shirts. Would not want to be in his shoes in the future.

They could easily prove the veracity of their statement - by introducing a corresponding shirt portraying Mohammed "servicing" a goat.
Nah, didn't think so!

It’s instructive that “gays” love to frequently mock and deride Christ and His followers. You see it all the time.
