Mom Miffed Over
Gay Mag

A Vancouver, Canada. mother who took her 13-year-old daughter to American Apparel expressed her outrage against the store for displaying magazines with homoerotic images.

Trina Campbell and her daughter saw Butt magazine sticking out of a backpack included on a display inside the store, according to CBC News. She pulled the magazine off the display and flipped to a two-page spread of two men having sex.

"I don't think this is something that the average person wants to see unless they're ready or going out of the way to see it," she said in the report.

When she went to complain to store managers, however, she was told that American Apparel headquarters decided to put the magazine in the display. Staff members told CBC that they sell the titles only to those with proper ID showing that they are 18 or older.

"This was right there, and whether we had to produce ID to purchase it or not, we didn't have to produce ID to look at it, and it was too easily accessed," Campbell said. (Michelle Garcia, Advocate.com)
