A Scottsdale couple sparked toy brand Mattel's attention with a social media post asking for a same-sex Barbie wedding set. Matt Jacobi and Nick Caprio are set to be married May 2019 and their two nieces will be flower girls. When one of the girls' 8th birthday came around, Jacobi and Caprio wanted to get her something special to get her excited about the big day. The couple found some Barbie wedding sets but none of them were same-sex wedding sets... Jacobi said Mattel reached out to him Wednesday to set up a meeting to discuss the issue and they now have a meeting set up in the near future.

Attention Mattel: Observe closely what happened to OTHER companies that bowed down to liberal idiocy.

Hotdogs have already been packaged like that for years.

Or else.

“Can’t they just buy two Barbies?”

Sure they could. But it is not about two Barbies. Just like it was never about the cake. It is about acquiescence.

They didn’t ask for adopted African children to be included? Racists.

It’s about making a statement and changing America, not quietly going about one’s business.

Is there a Butch Barbie and a Lipstick Barbie? What about a Trans-Jennered action figure with snap-on/snap off anatomical parts?

I’ve changed my tagline. Because of things like this.

Geesh, AZ is becoming the laughing stock of the nation in many ways.

Leave your orientation out of the toy biz.

5 years ago, JC Penny was trading about $25. Now it is barely above $1. What changed?

About 7/8 years ago, JC Penny went on a gay friendly corporate image change. If the stock price drops below $1 for 30 days, the process for de-listing / removing starts.

Slippery slope, Mattel.

They tried to accommodate these faggots, not thinking of the consequences - they will now be forced to manufacture all manner of Barbie/Ken dolls.

Trans Barbie, Trans Ken, and every ethnic group under the sun!

P.S. Those homos should be charged with endangering the welfare of minors...
