=== 1. Macy's in downtown Boston CONTINUES its prominent display window promoting homosexuality. KEEP CALLING - don't give up!! ===
We've never seen anything like this. Macy's Department Store in downtown Boston continues to pay their tribute to "gay pride week" (now taking place in Boston) -- with a big street-side display featuring two men, one in some kind of a skirt. And if you look closely (see our link) you'll notice that they seem to be male mannequins with extended breasts -- unlike any mannequins we've ever looked at.
Macy's obviously thinks they can offend you with impunity as y ou walk by their store, and get away with it.

Polite (most of the time) but condescending, they don't seem to think this is important enough to bother with. We were told by someone in their executive offices that they're "talking about it" and they'll send me a letter. Another executive told us that we were only the third ones to call him. (We really doubt that.) In the Boston office, they're a little more snippy; they've got much better things to do than talk to the likes of you.
The bottom line: Macy's executives obviously don't think you're serious about this.
Every one of you, no matter where you live, needs to make AT LEAST one phone call and/or email EVERY DAY until Macy's gets the message -- take this down NOW!

And if you're in downtown Boston we encourage you to personally visit the Macy's Boston executive office, which is in the lower level (just below street level) in the department store, just behind the Juniors Department.
It's no accident: Macy's is prominently mentioned in last Thursday's Boston Herald article on "Pride Week." (And don't get us started on how a once "conservative" newspaper now does puff pieces celebrating these kinds of depraved events, as if it were just another fun thing to do in the summer. The Herald is long gone.)
Pride and joy: Hub diversity fest grows by leaps and bounds

“We obviously have an election coming up,” said Linda DeMarco, president of the all-volunteer Boston Pride Committee. “We also have more rights than other states.”
Which means more reason for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered communities to be proud.
DeMarco said it’s also gotten a lot easier to coordinate Boston Pride since she first volunteered eight years ago. “More of the city is embracing gay pride,” she said.
At the Downtown Crossing Macy’s, one department store window is devoted to Boston Pride, complete with a flag, calendar of events and two male mannequins in pride shirts.
“It’s great,” DeMarco said.

And by the way, what else goes on during "Boston Pride Week" that Macy's and all our political dignitaries are celebrating? Here are just a few examples:
Here's the website of the "Boston Dyke March", slated for this Friday in Boston.

From two years ago, here's a photo from the Boston Pride Parade of (we're not kidding) women who have had their breasts surgically removed, and are marching as bare-chested "men."
