Conservatives are now the thin-skinned whiny crybabies they accuse us liberals of being.

Exhibit A:

In unsurprising news, the group “One Million Moms” is upset about Highlight for Children’s decision to include same-sex parents and their families in its pages.

The group, which has already been up in arms this year about a Zales ad featuring two women exchanging vows and an American Girl ad starring two dads, wrote on its site that its members “disagree morally” with the magazine’s choice to begin featuring same-sex parents and their kids.

The group’s announcement stems from a post on Highlights for Children’s Facebook page from October. Kristina Wertz wrote to the magazine that her daughter loves another publication from Highlights called Hello magazine. The mom also wrote that she and her same-sex partner were “consistently disappointed” by the lack of same-sex parents and their kids in its issues.

And this is after One Million Moms threw a fit and started harassing Zales managers and workers because they didn't want to see a gay couple getting married in a commercial. And they accuse us of being whiny crybabies who need their hand held and need safe spaces. Conservatives need more safe spaces than any other group on the planet!

One Million Moms should start contributing to competitive consumer economies and not Wal-Mart, then maybe the people who make these ads would give a shit..
