Old Navy Debuts Gay Pride T-Shirts For It Gets Better

[Jennasis]

I'm sorry you feel that way. My two DDs have many friends who are gay. The pain these kids face daily dealing with close minded people breaks my heart. I am thrilled Old Navy has taken this stand. All three of us will be purchasing and proudly wearing our shirts in support of their friends.

I think you quoted the wrong person?

Welp, not that it'll hurt them in any way shape or form, but old navy will never see any of my money again.

They'll be getting mine.

Welcome to 2011. You're just opening yourself up to being a hateful person. Equal rights for all

I'll buy two to make up for yours

The shirt is really cute; although I probably never would have figured out it was a gay friendly shirt unless I read the Dis. I learn so much here! Hoping my store carries them!

oops..sorry. You are correct. I'll try this again.

(BTW: Thanks, Jennasis. My old brain sometimes causes me issues! )

It's a bit sad that we still need a shirt like this in 2011, but I think it's great.

RIGHT? Well it's a good step anyway. One day we'll all just be people.

Because they're selling gay pride t-shirts? To support a campaign to help individuals deal with something they're struggling with?

I think the one posted is cute, I'll be buying it. Although I agree that I wish they weren't dated for the same reason, I feel like after 2011 I'll never wear it again.

I haven't shopped at Old Navy in forever, but you can bet I will totally be shopping there now!! Can't wait to tell DD - she'll love this!!

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but my guess is you won't see many posts against out of fear. It works both ways.

 

[frijolefrito]

I FEAR NO ONE!

Still for this tho

As in I support this.

Agreed. Why do people believe that EVERYONE should be promoting or supporting? Why is that judging? I love Old Navy but I won't be buying that shirt for myself or daughter. Doesn't mean I hate ANYONE! Wearing a shirt means nothing. All it is is a marketing tool to get people in their stores to buy clothing. They are jumping on the band wagon while it's hot which is smart. Not buying doesn't mean hating though.
There are so many other groups out there still struggling to be accepted and appreciated. Did people embrace the first black Princess as much as they will embrace these shirts, No. The tickets sales prove that! DO you buy your little girls different race baby dolls?

That's right, you won't. You'll buy a 2012 shirt next year, and a 2013 shirt the next year, and a 2014 shirt the year after that... It's brilliant marketing as well as a great idea!

 

[akhenaten]

I am happy that some of the proceeds are going to the it gets better campaign!

 

[DeluxePrincess]

DO you buy your little girls different race baby dolls?

Actually, yes I did.

I think the shirts are great. The fact that companies are capable of making and supporting an issue like this is wonderful. Only 10 or 15 years ago companies wouldn't have even supported anything like this for fear of a backlash.

Yep, that's very true!

 

[Queen2PrincessG]

That's great but not the norm, which is my point. This society/world still can't even accept and embrace people born a different race. How are they ever going to accept the LGBT community when even they struggle with their choice. Like I said I'm not buying it. It seems to "bandwagony" for me.
