The Hypocritical Right

Thursday, June 08, 2006

Don't get me wrong, I'm all onboard with conservatives when it comes calling people who are offended by public displays of religion retarded, but those sentiments extend to people who get nervous when they see two plastic dolls of the male persuasion holding hands:

BOSTON - Macy's department store has removed a window display marking Boston's gay pride week after a group that opposes gay marriage complained it was offensive.

The display at the downtown Boston store featured two male mannequins, with one wearing a gay pride rainbow flag around his waist, next to a list of several planned Boston Pride Week events.

MassResistance, formerly the Article 8 Alliance, which has campaigned against gay marriage and gay-themed textbooks in public schools, objected to the display and said the mannequin wearing the flag had a "skirt" on, the Boston Herald reported.

ACLU of Massachusetts spokeswoman Sarah Wunsch criticized Macy's for "succumbing to the bigotry" of what she said was a fringe anti-gay group.

It doesn't matter who you are. No one is above society or has the right to not be "offended" by whatever it is that day they don't like. If you're not comfortable with what Macy's is advertising in their storefront window, don't shop there! Stop trying to ruin everything for us normal people.

As for the ACLU, don't get me started with them. They'll tolerate any public display of homosexuality or desecration of religion no matter how extreme, but a plaque of the Ten Commandments will have them running for the courts.

Let's just learn to relax, people. 6-6-06 has passed and we're all still here.
