    Kohls has now joined Target:

    Kohl’s faces shopper uproar after becoming latest retailer to market LGBTQ clothing to children: 'Disgusting'

    Shoppers are criticizing Kohl's after the department store became the latest major retailer tosell LGBTQ clothingfor infants and young kids.

    Various social media accounts posted a plethora of Pride Month merchandise, including a "Baby Sonoma Community Pride Bodysuit set" designed for 3-month, 6-month and 9-month-old kids. The outfit depicts what appears to be a lesbian couple with a dog and three children, including a young boy in a wheelchair. One of the adults in the drawing carries a progressive pride flag.

    Other merchandise includes a "Love Is Love" banner, towels, bibs, candles, shorts, and pillows.

    If the GLBTQ community wouldn't push their beliefs on "straight" society so much, perhaps they wouldn't have the problems they have.

    However, there are those in that community that don't "push" like some others do.

    An entire month devoted to the GLBTQ community..........what crap!!

    It's a vocal minority doing that. The vast majority of us all are at a disadvantage because we just want to be left alone and live our lives...but there are a small number whose full time job it is to disrupt and to stir the pot.

    If it makes you feel better, May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Make of that what you will.

    Ya gotta have some respect John.
    A whack-job is always just a whack-job until they become rich being a whack-job and then they’re called celebrities who have a vast knowledge base that must be believed by the masses at all times.

    I may have come up with a new term for those who are flailing around and can’t figure what gender they are.
    Female + Male = Fale

    As a group of crows are called a murder, a group of fales are a group of falures.

    From twitter

    NY - A woman has been arrested and is facing hate crime charges after objecting to a man showering in the women's locker room. When Sonia told 'Nana' to use the men's facilities, he began to record her in the women's restroom and she tried to knock the camera out of his hands. He is now claiming to have PTSD so cannot work, and is seeking financial compensation.

    This happened in the employee's locker room for bus drivers (MTA.)

    Let me get this right.
    The wanna be goes into the ladies shower and carries a cell phone in with him/it.
    Let’s try again.
    A guy is in the ladies shower room bare butt naked but yet has a cell phone with him/her/it.
    Once again.
    A New York bus driver is in the women’s facilities and when questioned about his presence, he pulls a camera phone out of his bare butt and records the whole thing on video.

    Uh…let’s try this.
    An MTA bus driver needs money to pay off his bookie so suddenly identifies himself to be a woman, goes into a women’s shower room, disrobes and waits for some unsuspecting real woman to put up an argument so he can videotape her beating the crap out of him.

    A little more believable but not quite……..

    In any case, if I were a gun toting female in New York City and surprised a pervert taking a shower in my space, he’d get his junk shot off before he could whip out that camera.
    I have no doubt that at some point it’s gonna happen.

    Being a gun toting anything in New York City is as plausible as a man being a woman. And don't forget, the woman who merely took exception to it is behind bars.

    Ya know, I gotta give credit where credit is due.
    Mulvaney is a showman who figured out how to market himself.
    Much like Liberace with his candelabra and glitzed out attire, Dylan became visible in a way that caught the eyes of every single person in the Western Hemisphere and beyond.
    Also not unlike Liberace, Liberace had extensive talent on the keyboard of a piano whereas Mulvaney figured out how to play the media perfectly.

    The big difference between the two is that there were many who didn’t like Liberace because he exhibited a gay persona even though he didn’t openly declare it but Mulvaney profited off his “gayness”.

    I was reading an article about the San Francisco-based "influencer firm" (Captiv8) who represented him. They are 8 years old and claim to represent 1,000,000 "social media influencers." Reports are that the agency is in "serious panic mode," with Anhueser-Busch claiming that the beer can Mulvaney was holding in his bathtub ad was not made by them...they fired the ad agency. One distributor saidAd agencies send out hundreds of influencer kits a year, some of which have a customized can included. This was one of those situations.

    An interesting side note is that there's a promo vid of Captiv8's "swanky headquarters," showing a famous paraplegic athlete pumping iron and a Chinese-American actress stating that there are 30 million creators on Captiv8's marketplace to discover. The reality is that their office is a small place that can accommodate roughly 12 staffers, and that most folks work from home.

    Everyone is pretending to be what they're not. No wonder they are panicking...it's all smoke & mirrors and along comes a breeze.

    Perhaps Monty Python’s bit from ‘79 was a little prophetic?
