Blue is for boys and pink is...

Absolutely not!  Well, at least according to the experts at Faux News.  So, when an ad for J. Crew shows president and creative director Jenna Lyons painting her son's toenails pink, controversy abounds.


"This is a dramatic example of the way that our culture is being encouraged to abandon all trappings of gender identity,” psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow wrote in a FoxNews.com Health column.  Media Research Center’s Erin Brown called the ad “blatant propaganda celebrating transgendered children.”  (FoxNews.com)

Really?  Gender identity is completely based on colors?  According to Jenna Lyons, her son's favorite color is pink.   And this automatically makes him transgendered? 


Or is it liberal politicking?  Erin Brown says that J. Crew is just "exploiting Beckett behind the facade of liberal, transgendered identity politics."  Sure, J. Crew just wants to spread that horrible gay agenda to sell their clothes.


Wonder what the controversy would have been if the boy wore black nail polish?
