  1. From article:

    >The anti-LGBTQ+ One Million Moms “vastly overestimated their leverage” when it came to bullying Macy’s.
    >
    >The organization, known for its boycotts of television shows and companies that show even slight support of LGBTQ+ rights, is an astroturf project of the anti-LGBTQ+ hate group American Family Association. It has one employee and no members.”

    These scumbags have nothing better to do than harass trans, gay and nonbinary people.

    Oh, but that’s not all:

    >Their past moral outrage has been directed at [Parents magazine](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2019/01/conservatives-outraged-gay-couple-cover-parents-magazine/) for featuring a same-sex couple, [an anti-smoking ad](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2018/09/christians-freaking-anti-smoking-campaign/) that mentioned erectile dysfunction, [a shampoo ad](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2023/08/christian-conservatives-freak-out-over-shampoo-ad-with-a-boy-wearing-a-tutu/) that showed a young boy in a skirt, [Highlights magazine](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2016/12/one-million-moms-attacks-highlights-childrens-magazine-gay-inclusion/) for acknowledging gay people, [Scholastic books](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2018/01/morally-toxic-scholastic-books-latest-target-religious-right/) for featuring LGBTQ-inclusive children’s books, [the Roseanne reboot](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2017/09/one-million-moms-morally-outraged-roseanne-reboot-time/) for featuring a nonbinary child, the Disney cartoon series [Star vs. The Forces of Evil](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2017/03/one-million-moms-call-boycott-disney-sex-cartoon-kiss/) for its brief scene of two men kissing, [a Zales jewelry commercial](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2016/11/one-million-moms-meltdown-zales-commercial-featuring-lesbian-couple/) for featuring a lesbian couple, [a 30-second TV commercial](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2023/04/one-million-moms-says-30-second-ad-with-gay-couple-promotes-sexual-perversion/) for featuring a male same-sex couple, and the fairy tale drama series [Once Upon a Time](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2016/04/one-million-moms-wants-once-upon-a-time-taken-off-the-air/) for showing a lesbian kiss.

    If they saw Cassie from Dragon Tales in the Macy’s Parade in 2000, they’d call Macy’s “demonic” for having a colorful cartoon dragon float.

  2. One Million Moms, huh? Makes me think of the January 6thers screaming at the Capitol cops: “There’s a million of us and only one of you.” Believing the lie that there was a million Trump supporters storming the Capitol that day.

  3. >Two nonbinary Broadway actors will participate in this year’s parade, causing the group’s leader, Monica Cole, to clutch her pearls. Cole’s frequent over-the-top petitions only gather a few thousand supporters at most.

    To point out some additional absurdity for those not familiar with the Broadway shows these actors are performing in (&Juliet and Shucked), neither are shows actually *about* LGBT issues. This entire “controversy” is literally just about two nonbinary actors existing in the cast of these productions and performing on television.

  4. Just wait until Macy’s displays their giant rainbow striped butt plug float

  5. >causing the group’s leader, Monica Cole, to clutch her pearls.

    LOL

  6. If Trump wins 2024

    This will be happening a lot more.

  7. As long as they don’t sew any trans women into the pants of the Charlie Brown balloon, they’ll be just fine.

  8. Can’t wait until they try to boycott Macy’s and realize that no other clothes fits them

  9. One Million Moms is what Moms For Liberty *should* be: a weird little group of shrieking whiners shaking their fists at people who barely know they exist.

  10. Hah, back in the day, Macy’s was my favorite store. Then I saw them selling Trump ties and I quit going there. Maybe I’ll try them again.

  11. Huh, well who whuddathunk I was going to shop at Macy’s this holiday season

  12. Imagine getting a letter from an organization called some shit like “One Million Moms” and they’re threatening to boycott with all six of their members if you don’t do what they say.

  13. Yeah, Macy’s is not going to alienate a very large demo that actually watches to appease a group that probably doesn’t.

  14. I find it hilarious that two non-binary people out of hundreds of performers caused them to absolutely flip their shit, not that we needed more confirmation that their anger is directed at the mere existence of non-cishet people more than anything else.

  15. Good, stupid Karen can pout at home and not watch the parade. I hate these bigots trying to ruin fucking everything for everyone.

  16. TIL that Million Moms is still around. I figured that they had rebranded to Moms For Liberty.
