The spokesman for the AFA must moonlight as a 'writer' for the porn industry.

[nothing wrong with that, though...]

Do you think those who would actually be offended by someone wearing a Gay pride T-shirt deserve respect?

Shall we ban T-Shirts that have religious symbols or profanity on them, seeing as they are advertising something someone might find offensive?

We also have porn shops and guess what? It's still your choice to go or not to go. I like our freedoms and people not telling me what I can and cannot do.
Gay paraphernalia should be relegated to porn shops, not big box retailers that have 5 year olds walking around asking mommy what "gay pride" means.

A good question for AFA whose sole business appears to be keeping track of inventory in stores.

Unless the material being sold is pornographic in nature, that's an idiotic suggestion.

Because the response of "People being proud of who they are" is such a hard one.

American Family Association, Family Research Council Attack Target for Selling 'Pride' T-Shirts | rightwingwatch.org

And now Target is blocking emails from the American Family Association. Apparently, they're being bombarded with complaints from angry right-wingers.

AFA ActionAlert - Target donating its sales to gay marriage group
I guess conservatives are now against capitalism and free enterprise. Hypocrites!

My kids go to school with kids who have gay parents--it's not a big secret. Mine are older, but in terms of dealing with young children, you don't have to go into graphic sexual explanations to let kids know that some couples are the same sex, any more than you have to graphically explain heterosexual sex to a five year old when a man and a woman get married.

The key is "age appropriate" information. Some of you don't seem to get it...

I dare anyone to look at those t shirts and tell me what is objectionable. Besides whatever is going on in your own minds I mean.
