Video at link. Being that Palm Springs is some kind of queer haven, sounds like a certain demographic has their collective panties in a wad (maybe that's a poor choice of words here🙄🤔) Call me crazy but IMHO BLM hacktivists literally taking to the streets is an infinitely worse eyesore that blocks traffic.

Heaven forbid that beautiful straight white women be celebrated.

Call it a religious icon.

In other news, there’s a huge statue of Lenin in Seattle.

Occasionally someone will come along, and paint the statue’s hands red (for blood).
So at least one person in Seattle understands what a monster Lenin was.

Well, there is no question that Marilyn Monroe could stop traffic.

It is pretty risqué, being so huge so that anyone sees the underside from a good radius.

It’s just plain cheesy otherwise.

I would sign a petition to remove it. But I wouldn’t riot over it to try to tear it down.

Palm Springs was hijacked by the gay mafia a few decades ago. They must be chagrined and outraged over a statue of an attractive heterosexual woman who had mass appeal to millions of red-blooded, all American heterosexual men.

If the artist of the Marilyn statue had included a bulging penis under the dress then the gay mafia would have considered it high art and a city icon.

The Lenin is not huge. It’s life size. Sure it should be removed.

The Marilyn is huge, and that is the big problem. People automatically look up her dress.

[[“We serve over 100,000 school-age children that come to our museum every single year. What message does that send to our young people, our visitors and community to present a statue that objectifies women, is sexually charged and disrespectful?”]]

one has to wonder if these same protestors are just fine with trannies discussing their filthy lifestyles and sex acts with school kids-

It’s a statue, not a person. There probably isn’t much to ‘look up’ at.

I can’t wait until these crazies grow up and realize that they’ve taken every bit of joy and fun out of life - and finally regret it.

Yeah, the faggots took over Palm Springs years ago.

Went there for dinner with my father-in-law around 20 years ago and it must have been bull dyke night.

I’m not a Monroe fan but idiots who have a problem with that statue really need to pack up and move to North Korea, Cuba or Mexico.

I’ve always found Johnson’s sculptures to be quite hideous.
