Macy’s Is Sponsoring ‘Sex Parades In Many Cities’ This Month, Claims Anti-Gay Group
The American Family Association is accusing department store giant Macy’s of sponsoring “sex parades in many cities,” in an attack on the LGBT community, gay pride, and, of course, the “world’s largest store.”
The American Family Association has a unique view of the world. Where many see love and acceptance, say, a marriage of two people who happen to be of the same gender raising a family, the anti-gay hate group sees “sexual behavior which is contrary to nature and pushing a household structure that we know is harmful to children.” Where most people see an oppressed group of people fighting — and winning — the hearts and minds of their fellow neighbors, the vast majority of whom now support their right to live their lives openly, the AFA sees the “Gay Gestapo.” And where many see a proud child leading a gay pride parade as evidence of love and, yes, family pride, the American Family Association sees a “poster child for promoting unnatural sexual expression” and “a form of child abuse.”
Those words are all from American Family Association president Tim Wildmon.
So are these:
Most American families don’t know about the contemptible role of Macy’s department stores in supporting “gay pride” throughout the nation.
Macy’s is a proud sponsor of multiple gay pride parades.
The radical events and activities of a typical ‘pride’ week-end are decadent and highly-sexualized. They are a disgrace to communities and certainly shouldn’t be financially supported by a retailer like Macy’s that claims to serve families.
Sex parades in many cities, among them New York City, Columbus, Phoenix, Cincinnati, San Francisco, Seattle and Kansas City, are supported by Macy’s sponsorship. In Orlando, Macy’s is the “presenting sponsor” of the parade.
The red star that has become Macy’s logo can often be seen floating as a balloon high above the marchers in these parades, and Macy’s employees march in the parade with signs and T-shirts that read “Pride and Joy.” Yet some of their fellow parade participants are partially-clothed and engaged in simulated sex acts, even while children are present. Some floats and signs mock man/woman marriage in support of same sex “marriage” while others outwardly mock sincerely held Christian faith.
That’s direct from an email blast AFA president Tim Wildmon sent yesterday. He warns that Macy’s “Fired a Christian employee who refused to let a man use the women’s dressing room,” (referring to an employee who did not follow company policy on transgender customers,) “Holds in-store ‘pride’ events,” “Is a huge supporter of the Human Rights Campaign,” and “Offers an online same sex wedding registry.”
That last one my husband, I, and all our Cuisinart can personally attest to be true.Â
It’s hard to take these people seriously. Until you remember that, as reported by the New York Times in 2012, the American Family Association has 192 talk-radio stations, emails 2.3 million potential voters, and “has an annual budget of $19 million, raised mainly from small donors, and 128 employees.”
Anti-gay hate groups and those spreading hate and lies are facing a tough time these days, thanks to the simple truth that Americans are realizing that what’s wrong with America is not loving same-sex couples who merely wish to live their lives and raise their families, what’s wrong with America is not a gay man fighting from being fired for being gay, rather, what’s wrong with America is a group of people who have chosen to live their lives spreading hate and lies, attempting to shape others to conform to their personal religious world view — and have even chosen to make their living doing so.

The House Ethics Committee has reportedly announced that U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is facing a review by the Office of Congressional Conduct.
The origin of the review was not been disclosed. Under committee rules, officials are prohibited from stating whether the matter constitutes a formal investigation or identifying its underlying cause. The Committee only stated that there is a “matter regarding Representative Nancy Mace.”
“The Committee notes that the mere fact of a referral or an extension, and the mandatory disclosure of such an extension and the name of the subject of the matter, does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred, or reflect any judgment on behalf of the Committee,” the Ethics Committee statement reads. It was posted to social media by congressional journalist Jamie Dupree.
The statement also says the committee will “announce its course of action in this matter on or before March 2, 2026.”
Congresswoman Mace is currently running for governor of South Carolina.
Earlier this month Mace warned that Republicans may lose control of the House, saying they have not “done enough” and could “do a lot more” to implement President Donald Trump’s agenda, The Hill reported.

A prominent Republican lawmaker is vowing to thwart any attempt by President Donald Trump to acquire Greenland through force or financial means.
Speaking from Copenhagen as part of a bipartisan delegation of U.S. congressional lawmakers, U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), told reporters it is “an important message for the people of the Kingdom of Denmark to understand” that the United States has “three separate but equal branches” of government.
Reminding them that under the U.S. Constitution it is Congress that controls spending, Senator Murkowski, who has broken ranks and stood up to President Trump at times, said, “In Congress, we have tools at our disposal under our constitutional authority that speaks specifically to the power of the purse through appropriations.”
She noted also that “Congress has a role. Certainly, when it comes to spending authorities, the Congress has a role in basically helping to facilitate the message that comes from our constituents, to be reflected in whether it’s legislation or appropriations, or actions or measures, that can indicate, again, the will of the Congress.”

The “vast majority” of Americans do not support the acquisition of Greenland, Senator Murkowski added, noting that “some 75 percent will say we do not think that that is a good idea.”
“Greenland needs to be viewed as our ally, not as an asset,” Murkowski also told reporters.
Politico reported that U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) “also took part in the visit by House and Senate lawmakers,” and “said he would push ahead with legislation to curb Trump’s power to act unilaterally.”
He also denied President Trump’s claims that Greenland is necessary to be owned by the U.S. for national security reasons.
“Are there real, pressing threats to the security of Greenland from China and Russia?” Coons said. “No, not today.”
Sen. Murkowski: “When you ask the American people whether or not they think it is a good idea for the United States to acquire Greenland, the vast majority, some 75%, will say, we do not think that that is a good idea. This senator from Alaska does not think it is a good idea.” pic.twitter.com/zfitY31LyF

Just one day after threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota, which would allow him to unleash domestic military forces onto American streets, President Donald Trump once again on Friday hinted he would do so while suggesting he may be “forced” to take action.
Trump targeted Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, both Democrats, claiming they “don’t know what to do” after he deployed roughly 3,000 federal troops to the city.
“In Minnesota,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, “the Troublemakers, Agitators, and Insurrectionists are, in many cases, highly paid professionals.”
“The Governor and Mayor don’t know what to do, they have totally lost control, and our currently being rendered, USELESS! If, and when, I am forced to act, it will be solved, QUICKLY and EFFECTIVELY!”
The Guardian labeled Trump’s claims that protesters are paid as baseless.
Attorney Aaron Reichlin-Melnick wrote: “Note that the Trump admin hasn’t yet been able to produce evidence of a SINGLE ‘paid protestor.’ They’ve had total control of the FBI and the DOJ and ICE HSI and yet despite all of that, they can’t even find ONE person who they can accuse of being paid to protest.”
Separately, The Steady State, a group of over 365 former national security officials, while not referring to Trump’s remarks from Friday morning, noted that the Insurrection Act is “an extraordinary power meant for true emergencies, not a shield for unconstitutional policing. Using it to silence dissent or justify unlawful paramilitary activity at the hand of ICE undermines the rule of law.”
