On a briefly serious note. How do you respond to this whole thing?
When I get messages from companies pumping this stuff, I unsubscribe from their feeds.
If I walk into a store and it's up front and in my face? I walk right back out. It's not a boycott, it's a personal decision. Took my dog Petco to get her claws clipped and her hair trimmed up last week. The entire front of the store is covered up in gay dog merchandise. There are no fucking gay dogs. I canceled the appointment and will go somewhere else for those services.
I love Brooks shoes. From the first day I put them on, the arch and heel pain that was killing me disappeared. I've had to stop buying them, though. Last year was the killer for me. They usually do a Fourth of July themed shoe. Last year they did not. When I asked why, their marketing department cited distribution issues. That didn't stop them from releasing three different special issue gay-themed shoes over the year. They canceled America, but let the gay flag fly. Can't abide that.
I said from the beginning and it's documented here that normalizing abnormal behavior was a slippery slope that would lead to just what we're seeing now. I'm not one to boycott or call for any kind of organized reaction, but I have a choice where I spend my money. I don't spend it with companies that push this kind of stuff.
Sorry Pornhub. You're out. (I honestly hope that's not a real thing. Surely of all places, PH wouldn't paint in rainbow colors).
