Non-binary performers planned for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade spark fierce online backlash

Critics are bashing performances by non-binary actors scheduled for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

One Million Moms has organized a petition against the performances, and it has been signed by more than 30,000 people.

"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," read the petition. "Unless they are forewarned about it, this year’s holiday parade will potentially expose tens of millions of viewers at home to the liberal LGBTQ agenda."

The petition objects to non-binary performers from two Broadway shows who will be included in the parade.

One Million Moms points out that it won't be the first time the Thanksgiving Parade will feature a transgender performer.

"In 2021, transgender pop star Kim Petras performed during the parade, becoming the first transgender celebrity to perform during this once family-friendly holiday tradition," the group said.

The petition led to detractors on social media calling for a boycott against Macy's.

"Cancel the credit card and don't shop at Macy's And I used to love that store.....shame," read one missive.

"My family and I will be boycotting the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time ever. Macy's is making a big mistake on this one. Will you be watching the non-binary and Trans extravaganza?" read another popular post.

"Need to make Macy’s the next Bud Light," responded another critic, referring to the transgender marketing disaster for the beer brand.

"Shame on Macy’s for promoting and sponsoring this type of entertainment," read the petition. "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 parade will be broadcast across the nation at 8:30 a.m. from New York City on Thanksgiving Day.
