I don't think a gay pride tee shirt is paraphernalia and does not qualify as porn. And if a child asks, you should explain it to him/her in a non biased way. At 5 years old they can understand people loving each other without the sexual part of it. By sticking your head in the sand it won't go away.

You answered before I could--that's exactly how we explained what "gay" was when our boys were small. They asked because they have classmates with same sex parents. We explained very simply that it was when girls fall in love with girls or boys fall in love with boys, they accepted it at that, and then they asked what we were having for a snack. It's only a big deal if the parents turn it into a big deal.

I would bet that if any store started sellig anti-gay marriage T-shirts gay would do the same thing. Boycotts are common with liberal groups ;so this is just it comig around.

You've told us you don't have any objections to a woman having as many abortions as she can possibly have, so we shouldn't be surprised that you also don't find it objectionable that a homosexual perversity is thrust upon society.

Your vocal support for unchecked abortion and homosexual perversion is downright disgusting. Thank God your views are a minority.

Why should anyone care about how many abortions SOMEONE ELSE is having? If you actually have a life to live featuring situations in which you worry about YOUR OWN business, you wouldn't care either.

And no one is thrusting any perversion upon society. You're just easily offended.

We shouldn't have to explain anything to a child about homosexual love.

That's when you get boy children asking if they're gay because they love their father, or love their best friend, and girl children asking if they're gay if they love their mother or their best friend.

None if it needs to be in the open, period.

There's nothing on the T-shirts that even says the word gay. Leave it to social conservatives to panic over something like this.

I say good for Target, especially since they're donating their profits to a worthy cause.

Personally, i'm outraged that Target still sells Yani (sp?) CD's but I just handle it by not buying them instead of whining about it.

It's the "rainbow colors" as propaganda. Insinuating the acceptance of homosexuality.

Your child wants to wear it because it's colorful and looks "cool" and they don't know the social ramifications of wearing a shirt emblazoned with such "harmless words" as harmony, love, acceptance. It's all propaganda.
