More than 30,000 people have signed a petition condemning next week’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for pushing an LGBTQ agenda by adding several gender non-conforming performers to the lineup.
“The non-binary and transgender extravaganza on display this Thanksgiving will be brought to you by Macy’s during their annually sponsored Thanksgiving Day Parade,” the petition, organized by One Million Moms, reads.
The petition alleges the annual kickoff to the holiday season will expose “the liberal LGBTQ agenda” to the tens of millions of children and families who tune into the broadcast.
“Shame on Macy’s for promoting and sponsoring this type of entertainment. We still cannot trust Macy’s Dept. Store. It is clear that Macy’s does not have our children’s best interests in mind. Macy’s needs to know that trust must be earned and once trust is lost, it is difficult to get back,” the group states.
The parade will feature music from two Broadway musicals, & Juliet and Shucked, both of which feature transgender and non-binary performers in major roles.
Justin David Sullivan, who plays the role of “May,” identifies as non-binary. His character in & Juliet is a non-binary friend of Juliet engaged to Prince Francois.
