Being an older person, I view this subject with the eye of having witnessed the slow and incremental "normalization" of this tiny bit of the population...to the point where today...if you are approached by a woman...and you reject her..there is the assumption that one is gay...This bench mark of judgement is becoming more and more common.
Yes with this liberal democracy we live in and the push toward utter equality has created an atmosphere that is artificial....I believe that the author of this thread is just perturbed that media is over representing this sub-group..and by doing so give the impression of a recruitment agenda...and worried about the future..
Do these types of ads push those over the edge into a life of homosexuality?
They just might...Young persons with no sexual experience might because the political and economic normalization of gay..and lesbian..may cause a young person to experiment and get caught in a trap..where they are sexually and emotionally confused...personally...I say..let nature take it's course...to manipulate the population through any form of sexuality..is selfish social engineering that does not benefit the public.

HA-ha! You are very funny, man!
Come on now, a picture is not going to make someone gay or not gay!
But they aren't trying to shove acceptance down our throats.
One Million Moms is right on this, but I don't think they were right about be outraged because JCP made Ellen their spokes person. That's way over board. But this is just not okay.
Totally agree with you. You sound very mature and reasonable.
Not really. The OP story tells of a Boycott on Urban Outfitters; i.e., a group encouraging others to not shop at a store. They are not demanding the ad be removed as some are trying to imply.
They aren't demanding it to be removed because they tried that with JC Penney's and became a laughing stock.

(I had started a thread before this one took off that actually had the boycott more of the focus. It got deleted.)
You are incorrect. They are demanding the ad be removed.

Please send an email letter urging Urban Outfitters to discontinue this ad and immediately stop the circulation of the catalog with the two women kissing...
There is no hate in my heart. It really bugs me when people who make money through media...will stick anything in your face to hopefully make a profit..This ad...is generated by common greed....worst of all---It is NOT gays or lesbians who push this stuff...It is shrewd business types...From what I have seen..lesbians and gays don't like to have their "community" used.
Men who get a kick out of two woman getting it on...usually have some weakness in sexual drive...and need the unusual bit of kink to bring up their interest...It's just a cheap shot...not to be concerned about...Just like the Ellen fans..who mistakenly view her as some strong woman that does not need a man...and is very successful............Mean while Ellen behaves like a sexist power mongering male...Here very attractive girl friends are all straight..who go with her for the money and status...so ironic...a lesbian who behaves like a rich guy who buys his woman.
I just think that our culture is sexualized enough by heterosexuals, let alone homosexuals. That's all. It's not that I'm a homophobic, or that see gay PDA bothers me. It's just I think that putting it in a magazine on the 2nd page where you know that everyone who gets the mag is going to see it, is kinda messed up.
I do love their clothes though.

She's probably never seen that magazine (I'm not familiar with it either) but most likely saw a thread about this outrageous (sarcasm) ad on the Million Moms website and thought she'd bring her outrage here, hoping to get the pats on the backs that some conservative adults here routinely give to her.
Your hate makes me giggle
So I guess because you haven't seen it than I can't posible have seen it. I have read the magazine while sitting in a waiting room. I didn't see this issue though. I read the story and thought it was interesting. I've never been on the Million Moms website. Read it on the blaze. You know..... the link I used. lol.
I think it's hilarious that every time you talk about me you point out that I'm 17 and homeschooled, proving that it bothers you. Why don't you just put me on your ignore list and get on with your miserable life?

Good pic. But warn people about opening a Blaze thing. They bombard you with ads.
