Yep. This is about 100% spot on.

If the items are not a big seller, they will end up on the clearance rack, and then disappear from the stores entirely. The stores are not going to waste space on a trendy item if it is just going to sit there. I work at a high school, and I have not seen even one kid wearing one or anything else with a "rainbow". They'd probably be afraid to because they'd get made fun of. Anybody wearing one of those in our local bars/clubs would get the crap beaten out of them. I don't know how it is in the cities/suburbs, but that is the way it is here in rural Pennsyltucky.

Next year we'll probably see racks full of them at the Good Will.

They would beat someone because they wear a shirt like this ? and then we wonder why the rest of the country see rural areas as a backward place that has zero tolerance. Im glad i live in a big city.

And that's what makes it so offensive.

I think I'll start a business selling 'straight' merchandise. There sure seems to be a market for it. Problem is, straights don't feel the need to advertise and get in faces. Shoot, we don't even have a flag.

Nothing makes it offensive. No harm is being done whatsoever. Sure, you can claim there's harm in it, but you cannot and will not provide any support for such a claim

To the exact same extent as homosexuals, yes, we do. Try watching TV, listening to the radio, or just going to a public place and looking around. You'll find heterosexual 'advertisement' everywhere, and it will most certainly be in your face. There is no difference.

I couldn't be happier than to see all of these big businesses promoting "the gay agenda" (known to non-extremists as tolerance and equality). The world is embracing acceptance of homosexuality at a rapid rate. Whether those who are against it adapt or die out, there's really nothing that can stop it now
