Hysterical homophobes One Million Moms have cried foul yet again. This time, the group has targeted the popular doll line American Girl over the inclusion of a new character, Kira Bailey, for having gay aunts.
American Girl already named Kira ‘2021 Girl of the Year.’ Her fictional biography states that the 10-year-old comes from Michigan and loves animals, enough so that she has started her own petition for wildlife conservation. A book that accompanies the doll further expands on her backstory, and includes a visit to a wildlife refuge run by her lesbian aunts, Mamie and Lynette, who live in Australia. The book also notes that Mamie & Lynette got married in 2017 when the nation extended equality to same-sex couples.
So then, naturally, One Million Moms has started a petition to have the doll and her aunts pulled from sale.

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.
“As Christians, we know that even though something is legalized doesn’t make it moral or right,” the group wrote on its website. “American Girl, owned by Mattel, first made its announcement in a press release revealing that their dolls are designed to reflect the present time with ‘contemporary characters that inspire children.’ Why can’t the toy manufacturer let kids be kids instead of glamorizing a sinful lifestyle? American Girl is confusing our innocent children by attempting to normalize same-sex marriage.”
“The doll company did not even include a warning so parents would have a heads-up,” the group continued. “Within the first few pages of Chapter 1, Kira Down Under includes an illustrated picture of the two women walking down the aisle at their wedding. This irresponsible storyline is dangerous to the well-being of our children.”
At the time of this writing, the petition has nabbed just over a paltry 29,000 signatures–a sad figure for a group with “one million” in its title. Then again, nobody should be surprised: One Million Moms has never boasted more than a reported 100,000 members. The group also has a nasty history of homophobia, having pushed a boycott of retailer JC Penny after adopting Ellen DeGeneres as its spokesperson, criticized comic book publishers Marvel and DC for including LGBTQ characters, and attacked The Hallmark Channel for running a commercial featuring a same-sex wedding. The group also has a record of failed campaigns against movies and television which include queer characters, having attacked DuckTales, Toy Story 4, Hallmark Christmas movies, and the sitcom The Connors in recent years.

There are many other things that the moms should be outraged about. Gun violence for one.

Face it, the One Million (hundreds) Mom are a hate organization who sole purpose is to promote hatred against anything that is LGBTQ. Nothing more, nothing less.

Why would they (and evidence indicates they are not even half as large as the 100,000 some estimate based on petitions they have circulated) be at all active about gun violence?
Most of them probably believe Jesus would practice open carry if he had the chance. And they definitely believe that gun violence is entirely the result of people engaging in the “sinful lifestyles” they object to.
Clearly (in their minds) if we were all gun loving, born again, homo hating, hetero, patriots (and possibly all white), there would be no gun violence in America.

One Million Mom organization claims to be “Christian” on one hand while practicing the most vial form of discrimination and hatred imaginable! Christian?!?! Yeah. Right. Maybe if they spent more time actually reading the New Testament instead of pushing their political views and protesting against a doll company I could believe them. Now? Not so much.

One Million Morons definitely serve a positive purpose. By bringing attention to things that would otherwise be overlooked by the masses. Thereby making them more popular and good sellers. Thanks OMM. We await your next crusade. Make it good.

I hate this. Every time Million moms boycott something I go out and buy 10. I guess I can use the 10 dolls I bought as dog toys. My dogs will love the dolls.

Have these women, generally, with nothing else to do, sat down and really talked to their children, be they male or female? I am quite sure if they did they would find these children already know more than they think. Children pick up things from playmates, school, and even on a playground so children are not so nieve.
Each one of these million (1 + 1 = 1) moms should have to eat two bowls daily of Kellogg’s new cereal, TOGETHER. every morning for as long as it is on the market complete with extra sprinkles. Just think Kellogg has pledged $3 from every box and that would be $3M to help a gay cause. I suspect if any one of them reads this they will choke on the words – ha.

No one knows my secret about this gay thing, the doll helps me with that and I think she is the best companion. She’s great to clean and easy for storage, thanks a lot SexDollTech!
