Did you say HE is wearing. Does "Patty Gonia" use the he him pronoun?

I didn't hear anyone say that. A man is defined by his Chromosomes. XY. A man is an adult human male.

If we wait maybe we can get free North Face clothing as Bud Light is now free for the taking due to mismanagement.

Well, in the ad, "he" calls "himself" a homosexual. Doesn't that imply a HE?

What you said is the misconception some people have. It doesn't matter if we are the target demographic. Take war as an example. We are too old to fight, yet we care about others and we care about our country. Having onesies in target, childrens books, and special tuck able clothes for toddlers (yes these items are at Target in Florida) is not appropriate. Putting a three year old boy in a girls bathing suit is not healthy. As with many things, people push things too far and are "outraged" when they get push back. The LGB community should have stopped at B. I have not seen it reported, but friends tell me there are many who are unhappy being associated with the ideology being pushed by the loudest voices in the transgender community.

Whitley 05-25-2023 08:50 AM

I have sexual desires. Perhaps they are out of the mainstream. I assume the great majority of you could care less what those preferences are (though I bet some are curious now. Be honest). I would like to use my voice to teach children that the desires I was created with are OK, and they should be open to these as well. Perhaps they do not know that these desires are acceptable and they repress them. Their young minds are not equipped to handle such things, so I could write a childrens book that someone dressed up as a cowgirl can read to them (for the young ones unable to read).
OR
We can let them be children and address these topics as they mature.

Deuteronomy 22:5 “A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God."

So, I'd say God cares. And I do also.

Men wore long robes over long gowns. They had their OWN "womens wear" and didn't need to wear the gowns and robes of women. The only people who would ever be seen in public with their shirt off were slaves, because they weren't given a choice. Remember that next time you go to the pool.

Since you've chosen my favorite book in the Old Testament, I suggest you try out a few of these humdingers:

5:13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: 5:14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.

Translation for non-Jews: It means on whatever day you select as your Sabbath day, you, your family, your employees, your work animals, anyone who comes to your door, does NOTHING. You don't turn on lights, you don't turn the oven on, you don't turn the AC off. You don't button buttons or zip zippers, you don't cook or stick something in the microwave oven, or wash dishes. You don't drive a car or ride a horse. You don't work, and you don't force anyone or anything else to work, on the Sabbath.

Good luck with that. I've never met a Christian I thought had the chops to even try it. The Amish come pretty close.


Graven images anyone? How about the cross, or the carving of Jesus that some of you kneel to at your churches, or hang over your bed to make sure that you have an audience whenever you have sexy time with your spouse:

5:8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, 5:10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

So yeah - keep your bible out of my government please. I don't want to have to stone you to death for disobeying a commandment. I'm a pacifist. Kinda like Jesus, the Jewish guy.

Does he go by gay male.? I did not get that in the ad I saw last night. Could have been cut up and edited.

Joe C. 05-25-2023 09:04 AM

OK ..... NOW PAY ATTENTION !!

It's these social activities, publicly highlighted by the powers that be, grab the attention of the majority of normal people, so that they don't see what's going on behind the scenes. They are like a magician who gets you to watch his right hand so that you don't see what the left is doing. There's more going on than what the LGBTQRSTUV group is pirouetting around for. BE AWARE ...try to look at the whole scheme of things. As long as they have your attention on one subject, they are plotting on more devious and damaging things. :boom:

Causey 05-25-2023 09:18 AM

It all comes down to opinion, just like asses, we all have them. The self righteous, with the lectures, are as bad as the freaks. I get to decide which is worse. They are just another group that it really doesn't matter what they think.
Parallel economy is the best route, try to support those that best align with your way of thinking. It is possible to leave the freaks behind.
Anyone else's opinion, is only worth what you allow it to be worth. So the overwhelmingly vast majority of opinions mean nothing to me. I know some of you will be offended by that, but that's the point, I don't care.

I don't know. I just went by the video from the link in Post No. 1. He calls himself a homosexual and refers to some other people as lesbians. I could be wrong, but I think most people would assume a homosexual is male and a lesbian is female.

I looked through their rainbow collection but couldn't find those platform shoes for my summit of Everest next month.

So Bud Lite loses $110 million in sales and billions in stock value, Target drops a bomb on itself, and now North Face joins the fun.

https://twitter.com/Travis_in_Flint/...promo-video%2F

How a commercial that has a man, complete with mustache, prancing around in rainbow gear and platform shoes will sell more outdoor gear is beyond logic. Not a single piece of North Face gear in the ad.

My guess is most of the people commenting didn’t watch the ad. The poor video and audio quality alone should have clued you in that this is a spoof video not a real ad for North Face.

But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.


See that man who thinks he's so smart? You can expect far more from a fool than from him.

Are you sure it's a spoof video? The North Face website has a photo of Pattie Gonia wearing those clothes and it includes the following caption:

Summer of Pride Tour

For the second year in a row, we’ve teamed up with Pattie Gonia to celebrate Pride and bring camp to the outdoors—and you’re invited! Join us for a day of hiking, drag, community and more.

Byte1 05-25-2023 01:34 PM

So, which is it? Is PG mentally ill or just trying to get attention and make money the lazy method? Not that it matters to me because it is unlikely that our paths will ever cross. Just bored and wasting time on this.

Nice try but

Maybe this will clue you in

The ad is on North Face Instagram account

The poor video and audio quality should clue everyone in that North Face is engaging in cheap and meaningless virtue signaling.

Women are still allowed to wear womens' swimsuits. Women and men, of any preference, and even asexuals with no interest in sex with anyone at all, are all allowed to wear rainbow colored clothes, and use rainbow colored paper plates at their rainbow colored birthday parties. Everyone is welcome to drink Bud Lite, and everyone is welcome to buy whatever North Face is selling. No one is being discriminated against and in fact, everyone is invited to purchase these items.

That's what THIS thread is about: retail companies that choose to market their products to attract a variety of "types" of people, rather than the narrower demographic of "straight white men/women whose chromosomes match their mentality."

It's really a huge nothingberder but apparently it hurts a lot of straight white men/women whose chromosomes match their mentality in their feelings place.

The demographic of straight white men/women whose chromosomes match their mentality isn't NARROW, but rather the normal majority.
