One sad thing is rainbows are now permanently associated with being gay. Like as a kid I always liked looking at rainbows. And in Mario Kart there's the infamous Rainbow Road in every game that's very popular.

I just feel we can't like rainbows anymore because gay people "claimed" them. If I said I liked rainbows people would look at me if I'm "tooty-fruity."

I understand, Cubed. Not to mention it's association as a promise from God to Noah following the world-wide flood.

Has Wal-Mart decided to drop it's promotion or lost any $ since attention was turned to the company after Target backed off?

A small part of me wonders if that wasn't involved in the decision to appropriate rainbows... And I'm not even religious, I can just see the malicious intent behind these people's actions.

Interesting theory. I'm not sure if that's how that started since the gay rainbow thing has been around for quite some time now, but I know if the rainbow thing just became a gay icon in modern day, I just know the woke crowd would have done it on purpose to piss of the conservatives.

The color purple also started to be associated with being gay somewhere around the late 90's I believe? Before that purple was associated with royalty, like Kings and Queens.

It's a shame because Donatello wears a purple bandana and that's why people think he might be gay now.

It was definitely the “tuck-friendly” swimsuits that did them in. Target has been promoting LGBTQ+ ideology for years, nobody really cared much until they started becoming transgender extremists and pushing this stuff on little kids. Sure there’s some adults out there with weird fetishes, and that’s fine, but now that they are specifically targeting children to advertise this lunacy to, encouraging boys to wear girls swimsuits with a “dangler” attached, yeah that was probably the line that was crossed. They’re aggressively pushing an LGBTQ+ agenda all year round now, not just for “pride month”. They got all their pride stuff front and center for the general public.

Yup, pretty much. It’s been corrupted even more now with the added trans triangle. Can’t just make up their own flag. Make rainbows straight again.

LGB and TQIA+ seem like 2 very different things. One group is asking for special rights and privileges that nobody else has and trying to change laws etc.

Nope, they haven’t. They’re even selling LGBTQ+ merchandise for dogs. All these big corporations have ESG (environmental, social, and corporate governance)

He's obviously using that bo staff to pleasure his own ass.

Come on "Donatello DOES Machines"! Fred Wolf made Donny a Fruit in 87.
It's been there the hole time!

What I'm getting from this is that Metalhead is an extremely sophisticated fleshlight.

Or maybe that’s just what you’re into and misinterpreted it? And that’s ok, but there were no references to homosexuality in the original cartoon, except maybe Vernon. All 4 turtles were straight. Gay agenda was never a thing back then like it is now. That started around 2008-2012. If anything it would be the newer TMNT shows/movies that feature LGBTQ+ characters.

A bunch of LGBTQ groups give Target an ultimatum: restock the trans section and reaffirm its devotion to the LGBTQ cause in 24 hours or else!

Also, it's up to 13 billion that Target has lost:

They’ve really toned down on the LGBTQ+ stuff at our local Target. Can’t even find those “tuck-friendly” swimsuits anywhere.

State of Emergency? This is one lobbyist group calling out it's opposite number. “The amount of calls I get every day from parents asking how they can move to another state because they’d rather mourn their home than their child is real," Robinson said. “This is a different level of urgency and demanded a different level of response.”
https://www.yahoo.com/news/lgbtq-sta...131325476.html

I miss when June meant end of year field trips, graduations, cookouts, sports like baseball not a country arguing what is a boy and what is a girl when there are actual important things like national debt that should be the focus and agreeing to disagree in a country built on compromises.

Or else what? Bunch of lunatics and psychogroomers will stop buying stuff in their shops? Oh, I am sure salesmen and managers will be disappointed that those crazies would stop ruining their lives with their idiotic demands!!

They can shove this "state of emergency" alongside with so-called "totally real" "trans genocide" in their asses. No-one wants to strip rights from them - people just want those freaks to leave normal people alone and stop shoving their ****ing fetishes, kinks and delusions into faces of everyone, including kids.

Exactly. I miss the whole Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy. No one wants to persecute anyone.

Boycott either way (or Them/theycott) if the pronoun boy offends you!

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
