"You don’t have to look very closely to figure out that in Macy’s “wedding” sales space, there are lesbian and homosexual couples represented. Apparently Macy’s has been very active when it comes to capitalizing on the marketing opportunities afforded by the legalization of gay marriage. They ran ads in California after gay marriage was (briefly) legalized in that state, promoting their gay marriage registry services. And now that Washington DC has legalized gay marriage they are opening up shop here, too.
I’ve remarked to friends that I think DC would be a hard place to raise kids. I’m beginning to think that’s more and more the case, especially if you live near the Macy’s," - Christianist Thomas Peters.
