One Million Hags attack Macy's over Kinky Boots


You knew this mess was coming. One Million Moms are pissed at Macy's for having the cast of Kinky Boots perform during the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.

In fact, they have a letter ready to go:
As a parent and a member of OneMillionMoms.com, I am greatly disappointed in your company's choice to include the "Raise You Up" drag performance during your Thanksgiving Day Parade with millions of children present and watching from home. It is inappropriate to highlight cross-dressing in a sexually charged performance during a traditional family activity. 
 Your blatant agenda and in-your-face message was quite offensive, and Macy's cannot be trusted. Shame on Macy's for promoting this behavior.
It is clear that Macy's does not have my children's best interest in mind. I can no longer trust Macy's Dept. Store. Your company needs to know that trust must be earned and once trust is lost it is difficult to get back. 
Your decision was irresponsible, especially at an event when families are watching together. Nothing about this particular performance was family-friendly. The ENTIRE parade should be kid-friendly; not 95% of it! Your company can do better than this. 
I look forward to hearing from you regarding my concern.

Mess

My response? About $400 spent on Macy's web site over the weekend.
