Conservative Mom Group Upset About Lesbian Kiss In Urban Outfitters Catalog

One Million Moms — the same group that tried to get JCPenny to fire Ellen Degeneres — is pissed about a lesbian kiss in Urban OutfittersApril catalog.

The group is urging people to throw away the catalogs, call the company to unsubscribe from its mailing list, and send letters to Urban expressing their disgust because of “a picture of two women kissing in a face holding embrace!”. Why? “The content is offensive and inappropriate for a teen who is the company’s target customer.”

Before you pick a side, know that Urban isn’t particularly LGBT-friendly, either. Don’t forget its transphobic greeting card, or CEO Richard Haynes‘s continued support of anti-gay legislation and political candidates. Maybe this is a step in the right direction for the retailer, or maybe it’s just a publicity ploy that could help boost less-than-stellar sales.

     It’s perfectly fine to make fun of another’s religion if it actively discriminates against people who are gay.

    Funny? no no no…I enjoy ridiculing religion coz you are all such hypocrites, especially the monotheistic ones.

    conservative mom’s have better things to worry about…  why gloss an entire ideology based on the rantings of some desperate housewives?…  one million moms’ website is nothing more than a litany of requests pleading for like-minded simpletons to send e-mails to media outlets issuing content they deem inappropriate…  a cursory view of said site reveals an association with the nebulous american family association, ran by the notorious attention seeking antiquated thinker that is one donald wildmon…

    and guess what?… who can definitively say, other than urban outfitters themselves, that the kissers are portraying lesbians?… only perverts sexualize what well may be nothing of the sort…

    Should everyone agree with One Million Bigots ~ oops, I mean Moms!? They want everyone to kowtow to their opinions! Why can’t these people just not like it and leave everyone else out of the equation? By the way, I love Ellen’s commercials for Penney’s. They’re funny!

    UO needs to worry about their inability to hire hotter models. They don’t even look like they’re enjoying it. Lamest kiss ever. Would never turn a frog into a prince.

    I have no problem with Ellen being spokes person for JCPenney. I personally love Ellen. But, I personally don’t want to open a catalog and see male or female kissing. Why do they need to do that? Young kids look at magazines, catalogs, and the such all the time. I don’t think it’s appropriate for any of the nonsense they do nowadays. They are just rushing kids into relationships. Plan and simple.

    No, only your opinion is right because it’s in a book written by bronze-age shepherds 3000 years ago, right next to the part about shellfish and cotton polyester blends.

    Of course we have no idea if it’s a “lesbian”  kiss all the photo tells us is that it appears to be a same sex kiss in that they appear to be female.  

    Also, agree with shatwood above, WTF is with the people in it?  This is all they can afford?

    I don’t think this will help them sell more clothes. The only things that would do that would be to get cuter clothes and models who don’t look like they haven’t showered in three weeks.

    One Million (actually about 30,000) Moms need to collectively get a life! I know, I know, all that whining about those scary gays is hard work, but seriously get over it. Why is it that these holier-than-thou groups aren’t out proving what good Christians they are by volunteering in the community, feeding the homeless, mentoring, cleaning up their cities, marching for dimes, etc?

    Have you ever visited their website, seen the blatant prejudice they spread? This is nothing more than a group of app. 30,000 (according to their facebook page) self-righteous bigots…period. Not all ‘opinions’ are equal or valid, regardless of what the media may tell you.

    What the hell are people kissing on a catalog in the first place? Do I think  Lesbians are hot..well…some. Do I ultimately believe it’s deteriorating this country values? Absolutely.

    But what if it’s two ugly girls?

    I pretty much agree with what you just said. That was a good question, what are they doing kissing on the cover of a catalog?
    I can’t say I don’t find lesbians hot, however, so I guess it would be a little hypocritical of me to say that they deteriorate the country’s values. It’s kind of a gray area for me.

    99% don’t know the establishments Agenda , what the so called ” elites ” plan are , that’s why so called “progressives” latch on to these images as some kind of sign of ” progress” . To put it simply , it’s the PLANNED DESTRUCTION of the Family Structure .
    Same reason why International Clothing Companies push little girls wearing lingerie or bras . Same reason why Globalist Corporations push make up wearing little girls . THE SAME PEOPLE are behind it , same corporations and the Violent Videos , the rappers and bands pushing ” Lucifer ” . Notice Justin Bieber flashing manu cornuto or Devils Horns , a very common sign flashed , which is now ” normal ” and excepted as trend .
    These deviants control and create trends or ” Mega Trends ” not to strengthen Families , not provide a strong moral compass but just the opposite . Anything goes .

    This is what diversity is all about.  Where I work in Austin, we have people who are openly g&l and nobody gives a damn.  And I’ll tell you right now, we should all be so lucky as to be invited to a lesbian party.  Went to one once.  It was such fun, partying with all the well-dressed, beautiful ladies.  My wife and I went to a Tracy Chapman concert once.  We were the old fogies who did not realize she had a g&l following.  Nobody cared.  We sat outside under the stars and listened to beautiful music.

    Don’t have a problem with it. When they start showing what Obama and Kal Penn who gets rolled in Gay areas in the wee hours of
    the morning are doing it will have gone too far though.

    Here’s a verse

     

    Doctors are retiring earlier but we’re getting 17000 new IRS                     

    This is how Obama creates health care jobs I guess

    For 235 years this country’s been God’s blessing.

    Now he’s following Cloward and Piven’s to bankrupt the
    country I’m guessing

    If Obamacare gives Grandma and Grandpa  a scare

    Think how when their rationed and die earlier we’ll save on
    healthcare

    That’s probably the worse song I’ve ever heard.  What Grandma and Grandpa should be really scared about is the Republicans taking away their Social Security and Medicare.  Everyone should also looking at the historical facts behind our National debt and find out for themselves what administrations are really responsible for our debt instead of taking FOX New’s word for it.  That would truly open some eye’s, especially when they find out that Reagan, their idol, raised out National debt the most.  He raised our debt 189%.  Don’t take my word for it, look it up for yourselves.    Everything in this song is not only wrong.  Again, look it up for yourselves and stop being a parrot of the far right wing conservative pundits and Fox News.  They give you the talking points but they never give you any facts to back it, because there is seldom facts behind what they say.

    Conservative moms are having a hard time seeing the forest for the trees. Sexuality is prolific and prominent on TV, in movies, music, etc… Some of the stuff I’ve seen on cable in the afternoon makes this ad look about at provocative as the coupon pages.

  • Just sad

    That’s a pretty sad, self centered answer … while you picked on one issue, you basically said “It’s perfectly fine to make fun of another’s religion if it actively discriminates against something I agree with”. On one hand your saying it’s not ok for them to condemn your group but saying its ok to condemn them as a group because they don’t agree with you. That’s plain hypocritical.

  • I don’t think so

    Actually as noted above — it’s your statement that is the true essence of hypocritical … I am not agreeing or disagreing with religion, just simply pointing out that you are doing, exactly what you’re condemning … if you look up “hypocriticl” it’s exaclty what you’re being …

  • Just Sad

     ”I think He created girls … WE created gays” 

    That my friend is THE EPITOME of hypocrisy.Hahahaha! Religion you amuse me.

    I don’t care what gays do as long as they don’t hit on me(the lesbians are welcome), if that’s hypocritical at least it’s isn’t based on the likes/dislikes of a monomaniacal douche figure whose followers use selective interpretations to justify the douche’s shortcomings.

     I didn’t say that I ‘condemn’ religions that believe that homosexuals should be prevented from having the same rights as everyone else, I said that it’s fine to make fun of them.  But I do condemn any organization that tries to justify explicit prejudice.

    And if I were to ‘condemn’ a religious group that favored such bigoted ideas, I would be doing so because they maintain bigoted ideas.  This is entirely different than condemning an individual because a 2000 year-old book tells you to be prejudiced towards them.

    Why is this such a big deal? “Do you people ever thought why straight girls are straight and not lesbian/gay?” Doesnt have difference on asking why lesbians are lesbian. This was just a kisss and that was just a catalog. I dont think moms that hate this are what you so called “conservatives” they are more of like a little more unopen minded ones.
