The radicals over at LGBTQ Nation Magazine are throwing a fit because parent groups are less than thrilled at the idea of their kids being exposed to more trans-focused content, particularly during a classic American holiday.
LGBTQ Nation:
The anti-LGBTQ+ organization One Million Moms (OMM) is morally scandalized over the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
In an alarmist petition, OMM — an offshoot of the anti-LGBTQ+ American Family Association — warned that the parade will be a “non-binary and transgender extravaganza” that will “expose tens of millions of viewers at home to the liberal LGBTQ agenda” because this year’s parade will include music from two Broadway musicals, & Juliet and Shucked, which both feature trans and nonbinary performers in major roles.
OMM asks people to sign a petition that tells Macy’s, “I do not agree with the LGBTQ agenda you are pushing on families during your Thanksgiving Day Parade. My family and I will not watch this indoctrination. Since this event goes against our beliefs and values, Macy’s has left conservative and Christian families with no choice but to avoid the parade and its stores, even during the holiday season. My family will not support Macy’s; you have lost our trust.”
The group’s website said that almost 15,000 people had signed the petition by Friday.
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade first took place in 1924, making it the second-oldest Thanksgiving parade in the United States — the first-oldest is Detroit’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Macy’s parade normally features large balloons in the shape of pop-culture cartoon characters, performances by different artists and groups, as well as colorful and festival floats. Commentators who cover the parade don’t always mention the LGBTQ+ identities of its bigger-name participants.
Nevertheless, OMM, which only has 105,000 social media followers, has a habit of throwing a fit anytime any company anywhere publicly acknowledges the existence of queer people.
Let’s hope One Million Moms is successful and sends a very strong message to Macy’s that we’re all sic k and tired of having the LGTQ lifestyle pushed down our gullets at every turn.
