Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Transgender 'Extravaganza' Sparks Boycott
Nov 13, 2023 at 7:24 PM EST

An online petition is calling for a boycott of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade due to its planned inclusion of LGBTQ+ performers.

The petition was started by One Million Moms, a division of the "pro-traditional values" organization American Family Association (AFA). More than 24,000 people have signed the appeal as of press time.

The annual Macy's parade in New York City has been one of the holiday's most famous events since it first took place in 1924. Swarms of people descend onto Manhattan for the festivities, which include floats, marching bands and live performances from popular musicians.

One Million Moms is taking exception to the entertainment scheduled for next week's event.

"The non-binary and transgender extravaganza on display this Thanksgiving will be brought to you by Macy's during their annually sponsored Thanksgiving Day Parade," the petition from One Million Moms reads. "Unless they are forewarned about it, this year's holiday parade will potentially expose tens of millions of viewers at home to the liberal LGBTQ agenda."

The Network televising the Parade will undoubtable play up the perversion that is the LGBQT+(H) (H for Hamas) portion.

I haven't watched that Turkey for many years, 'celebrities' I never heard of caterwauling to music I thoroughly dislike and the push of social justice and mental illness, all presented with inane commentary. Nope, I'll do as I have for years, take the dog to the dog park in the morning and spend time with family.

The commentators are the worst.  We need a CSPAN for parades.

It's only a matter of time before you see hairy men shaking their bare rear ends at kids watching the parade.
As the truism holds, anything that does continually express conservative values will turn liberal and then far left.

You'd think that with wide-screen, HD tvs the parade would be more interesting to watch than in the old days of small-screen, b and w tv.
But like you said, the modern "entertainers" leave a lot to be desired.

I can't recall ever actually watching this parade "live". Just news clips. Not interested enough.

Well forty years ago when our kids were little we would watch it with them but even 1980's America was more conservative and the parade more a reflection of middle American values.

My take on the parade circuit?  Generall, when you've seen one you've them all.

Exactly.   And I can't remember the last time I've actually sat down to watch it. If it's on its just background noise now. No entertainment value.

That was something we did every Thanksgiving morning when I was a kid back in the fifties and sixties. Black and white tv on a small screen, but when you only have two channels, that's what you watched.

Yep. Every kid loves a parade.

Maybe instead they'll spend their time playing Call of Duty or something wholesome...
