Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Embraces Gender Non-Conformity
A National Tradition Takes a Controversial Turn
Get ready for a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade like no other. This beloved American holiday tradition is about to get a dose of controversy and a touch of Hollywood glamour.
According to The Associated Press, the parade will feature none other than Cher, the iconic singer and actress known for her liberal views and outspokenness. Cher, who famously declared she would leave the United States if former President Donald Trump was re-elected, will now take the stage to entertain the nation.
But that’s not all. Breitbart News reports that the parade will also showcase “non-binary” actors from two Broadway shows, adding a touch of gender non-conformity to the festivities. One of the shows, “& Juliet,” reimagines the story of Romeo and Juliet and explores what might have happened if Juliet had not taken her own life. The other show, “Shucked,” is a fantasy fable set in corn country.
These Broadway actors, who openly identify as non-binary, are sure to grab attention and spark conversation. And you can bet that NBC, the network broadcasting the parade, will make a big deal out of it.
Unsurprisingly, the news of Cher and the “non-binary” parade features has drawn criticism on social media. Some argue that the parade should stick to its family-friendly roots and avoid controversial topics.
No thanks to Macy’s Transgender Day Parade—The parade coverage was already lousy. They wouldn’t hardly show the floats. Now it is transgender hour? We are going to make some new traditions and leave TV off. https://t.co/U6Kd3FS3O9 via @BreitbartNews

There has to be some other old hag without the messiah complex out there?

Be sure to have the kids gather round the TV for another round of woke family brainwashing.

But perhaps the controversy was inevitable. Thanksgiving, a holiday rooted in faith and gratitude, has become a target for those with different agendas. The Macy’s Parade organizers may not see anything wrong with the inclusion of these controversial elements, but it remains to be seen how viewers will respond.
Despite the criticism, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade remains a cherished national tradition. It’s a time for families to come together, give thanks, and enjoy the spectacle of marching bands, floats, and giant balloons. Let’s hope that the spirit of unity and celebration prevails, even in the face of controversy.
A Message from Our Deputy Managing Editor
I walked into the office one morning and noticed something strange. Half of The Western Journal’s readership was missing.
It had finally happened. Facebook had flipped THE switch.
Maybe it was because we wrote about ivermectin. Or election integrity. Or the Jan. 6 detainees. Or ballot mules.
Whatever the reason, I immediately knew what to do. We had to turn to you because, frankly, we know you are the only ones we can trust.
