I assure you Gay men probably spend about 100 times more shopping for clothes than the tiny population of people sufficiently offended by this (especially in the areas Macy has stores, and especially in Boston) so I doubt Macy's could care less about the reaction of anyone else.

Trust ME: Macey's has done a cost benefit analysis on this sale and has determined that they will Gain More Dollars From Gays that they will Lose From Social Conservatives.

BTW-Macy's are in cities like New York, San Francisco, Boston, Miami Beach and even Houston where there populations are rather liberal.

Did you ever wonder why Macy's does not open up a shop in De Moines, Iowa, for example?

I am sure the Christan Conservative Groups from Harvard and MIT will be protesting at the Macy's window by daybreak.

A man's measure, as it were?
