Ozzies composing their Christmas shopping lists–or, in some cases, actual letters to Santa–take note: K-Mart Australia has just introduced a line of same-sex doll families.
The Australian newspaper The Star-Observer already reports stores in Sydney and Melbourne have already reported selling out of the new doll sets which come with either two moms, two dads, or a mom and a dad, as well as children and a pet.

Retailing for only $15, the dolls are also available online, though K-Mart does not guarantee that online orders will feature the family of choice.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The introduction of the doll set comes not long after popular American toy manufacturer Mattel introduced a line of gender-neutral dolls.

Let’s see how long it takes for the million mom’s to start asking people to boycott Kmart.

Let’s see how long it takes before they even show up in U.S. stores.

Ugh, I hate to be *that* white person, but dayyum, these dolls are white. I hope they offer more than just blue-eyed, Anglo Saxon same sex couples; I hope they sell more than blonde dog and cat accessories too. Remember that dark dogs and cats get euthanised/KILLED at more than twice the rate of white and yellow dogs and cats. Let not our kids’ toys contribute to that mess.

Yeah. I hate for you to be ‘that’ white person too. You are seriously now complaining that the breeds of plastic pets aren’t diverse enough?

The correct spelling is Aussies, not Ozzies.

Wait a minute, am I the only one who noticed this? Am I the only one who isn’t blind here? They are discriminating against trans couples. Not one of those couples appear trans to me, how about you? Did anyone forget that trans people are at the watering hole as well these days? Why is there no trans representation with this schtick they are promoting? Get with it people. Get out the cardboard signs and and get those heels a’strutin here and protest this.

Mr. Bitter, your table is ready.

Blaring across the loudspeaker in the .99cents store (Korean owned) with a busy public transportation bus stop in front in Los Angeles: “Cam, there’s a spill over in aisle two. Cam, there’s a spill over in aisle two. What’s taking you so long to take care of it? Is it asking too much for you to prevail upon that Raggedy Andy carcass of yours to exert itself and get busy? Need you once AGAIN be reminded of the only reason you were hired? We are getting reports you are hiding out in the bathroom and searching the web for conversation on Queerty. Don’t forget we can report all of this to your parole officer and have him act accordingly (removing you from that SRO for starters). Never forget you place and this is your FINAL warning.”
