If you don't like the ornaments, don't buy them. Jfc. It's really that simple. Smh. I don't understand why they get so upset over the dumbest things.
I look at ornaments in Target and if I don't see something i like, I keep going. Same with anything else in any store. You do not HAVE to buy things you don't want.

Well America is going to hell in a handbasket if we have LGBTQ, people with disabilities, feminists, etc. represented and allowed to be part of society. Their god allegedly doesn't like those who are not white evangelical Christians. Meh.

I'm going to Target to get me a few of those! Awesome to finally see people with disabilities are represented. In fact I'm buying a bunch of Santas in wheelchairs for several of the veterans with disabilities I know. To finally see ourselves represented as normal is extremely uplifting.
I remember when Barbie as a wheelchair user was first issued. For the first time young girls and women who are wheelchair users saw themselves as being beautiful and part of society. I gave one to my veteran client's daughter (she was born with spina bifada) and the smile and tears on her face when she saw herself represented was worth more than that doll could ever cost. "Daddy! She's just like me!" Daddy had to go use the bathroom to cry.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - I agree. I'm so over this "they are trying to force this down our throats" argument. No one is forcing anyone to buy the merchandise and no one is saying that having this merchandise forces you to become "fill in the blank". What are people afraid of?

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - Glad you saw what I did there. LOL!! ; ) It's one of my favorite things to say when confronting the anti LGBTQ crowd and they never get it.
