A funny thing happened on the way to getting dressed (gag alert)

The point is that when companies only care about making money they will pander to any group of perverts with a few bucks without regard for the long term effects on society

Because selling jeans to gay people will have devastating long-term effects on society?

I could understand someone being upset if Levi Strauss was giving money to homosexual advocacy groups or something (like Ford does). But who cares if they're just trying to sell their products to gays? Homosexuals are an easily identifiable demographic known to have high levels of disposable income. Gay people's money is as green as everyone else's, why not go after it?

How much fun can two queers have if they’re both wearing tight jeans?

“Because selling jeans to gay people will have devastating long-term effects on society?”

The sale of jeans is irrelevant. Gays have always been able to buy Levis. Marketing to them specifically promotes acceptance of their “lifestyle” and agenda. IMO, that message damages society as much or more than a donation from the Ford foundation. Personally I don’t care what homos do in private. I just don’t want it accepted as normal and taught as such in schools.
