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.

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.
When I was a little boy in church learning stories from the book of Genesis, I learned that Joseph wore a “coat of many colors” made for him by his dad. (Not by North Face.) He married an Egyptian woman named Asenath whose dad was a priest who served some Egyptian god. Descendants of his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, became tribes of Israel. As a child, I assumed that his coat was rainbow colored. Is rainbow-colored clothing no longer allowed for the majority of us? How about rainbow colored Lifesavers? How about Crayola crayons?

You get that all year. And - humans aren't carnivores. They're omnivores.

Since you asked:

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.

I'm thankful for companies like target for taking it too far. That's what it's gonna take for people to finally wake up. Like the school board meetings for example. Going after the kids, people have had enough! Tuck clothes for small children, disgusting! Finally, they've gone too far and people will start speaking with the only means possible today without risking being harassed or canceled. We can all speak our minds with our wallets!! Bud Light was the spark! We need to all work together to save the children and our society from this insane ideology. Let's not forget Sodom and Gomorrah. It's not too late, but we're at a tipping point and now is the time to make a difference! Profit and Loss, that's the language they all understand!

Do you have an issue with any social activity? How about incest, bestiality, polygamy etc?

Just open your mind.

I am sure that you realize that there really IS a difference? Rainbows and Rainbow symbols became the logo that the gay deviant lifestyle commandeered to represent them. Not the other way around. Just as the Christian cross that represents the Crucifixion of Christ and HIS subsequent rising from death, was commandeered by the KKK to represent them. In the Bible the rainbow symbolizes promise and hope, AND never symbolized the gay lifestyle. I think that comparing lifesavers and crayons to the gay symbol is a bit far fetched.

How does that work? Or, was that an attempt to be rude to another poster?
