Really? Banning Gay Covers?!

Written by Bryce

It’s 2011, and this is mega f’cking awful.

You’d think that with last night’s SOTU address we’d all be moving forward. Heck, it’s cool for gays to fight our wars now, so why can’t stare us in the face when we’re trying to buy milk and Slim Jims at grocery stores in Arkansas? Harps Stores, you should totally be ashamed of yourselves and if I had any friends in Arkansas I’d send them over in drag to buy your entire rack of Belgian endives and watercress.

  • I found the cover online and saw that it was two fully clothed smiling men holding a baby. I find this far less offensive than the typical tabloid covers that I see on a weekly basis while waiting to check out at the supermarket. The fact that the cover is of a mainstream magazine like Us goes to show how different people in Arkansas think than in the rest of the country. Sad…

  • If they don’t some muslim will be offended and blow up the store or some puritan will sue. This is just the way it is. And besides Elton looks awful in that picture.

  • I am in Ohio and they had this cover on a Cosmo mag at the Kroger’s. I was like Really? But then I thought about the wording on that mag and understood it can be pretty racy for a child to read.
