One Million Moms has jumped on the bandwagon against American Girl because it featured a doll with two lesbian aunts. The group — which is really a front for a hate group derived for the musings of its sole member, hate group employee Monica Cole — claims that the brand of dolls decided to jump in the supposed “culture war” and has betrayed conservatives.

“Conservative parents are outraged! American Girl released its first doll with an accompanying book that has an LGBTQ storyline. This is unacceptable!” Cole whines.

“American Girl could have chosen another storyline or characters to write about and remained neutral in the culture war. American Girl is attempting to desensitize our youth by featuring a storyline with two lesbian aunts,” she wrote this week in a post on her website that was sent in an email blast.

“As Christians, we know that even though something is legalized doesn’t make it moral or right,” she claims. “Why can’t the toy manufacturer let kids be kids instead of glamorizing a sinful lifestyle?”

The Mattel-owned imprint created a backstory for its 2021 Girl of the Year Doll, Kira Bailey, who is 10-years-old and has visited her two married aunts in Australia. The same-sex couple also owns a wildlife sanctuary, but it was their fictional relationship that had American Girl fans wildly upset.

The book, Kira Down Under, that accompanies Kira for doll collectors, explains that she has visited her aunts — who were married “after the law was changed to allow it,” referring to the 2017 decision to legalize marriage equality in Australia.

The aunts, Auntie Mamie and Auntie Linette, are also featured in the first episode of Kira Bailey’s Australian Adventure stop motion episode on YouTube. Parents and doll collectors were enraged by the inclusion of the doll couple in Kira’s backstory, rushing online to rant about it in online reviews.

Now, not one to miss out on boycotting a family-friendly brand, One Million Moms has launched a “petition” calling for American Girl to somehow “discontinue” the storyline featuring Kira’s family.

American Girl has also already clarified it has no issue with LGBTQ inclusion in its products.

“We know for girls who can directly relate to Kira’s circumstances (i.e. a father who has passed away or a couple in a same-sex marriage), we’re glad to show them that the make-up of one’s family doesn’t matter – it’s still a family and that’s all the counts. It’s a sentiment we love at American Girl,” American Girl spokeswoman Julie Parks told Yahoo! Life previously.

Still, Cole is out to “petition” them anyway (with a generic contact form that signs you up for their emails.) They claim to have received over 17,000 “signatures” less than 24 hours after launching their campaign.

I watched the whole thing and basically they just mentioned she have 2 aunts, showed them talking and that's it. Like, it was briefly mentioned at 2:50 ish in the video.

LIke, whats the issue here. They are hating cause the story exists?

Snowflakes that get triggered by a kid’s toy.

This video doesn't even identify them as lesbian or coupled. They are literally 2 aunts that open a business together, a wildlife reserve. 2 aunts are called biological sisters. Can't believe I watched the entire video waiting for them to come out, but they never did. 

Why are the dolls cheeks all so puffy, like they all have the same face shape? Oh well. I'm not buying any dolls anytime soon, unless it's literally a Gaga plastic doll that she says she is not.

This isn’t glamorizing a “sinful” lifestyle. This is helping kids learn about different families and making things normal. Stop ostracizing people because you are a bigot.  And I say these things as a Christian. I wish these people would actually spend their time reading the Bible rather than judging people that aren’t even hurting them.

Good for Mattel and American Girl. 

Also, Mattel sends things to Trixie to use on her YouTube channel, I don’t think they have a problem with gay people.

SCREAMINGFG.

honestly though, it just comes off as whinging tbh. she’s probably the same moron to tell people to stop being “snowflakes” and “facts over feelings”, however gets offended when she sees rainbow.

stop the snowflakery, Cole

Only in America, it's not like the aunt's are having sex in the book lmao, why are LGBTQ couples sexualized by conservatives, they are just as valid as hetero couples.

[Chromatica Island 8,517]

We stan American Girl! I used to read the books when I was a little girl, especially the historic stories!

[Chromatica Island 8,517]

Plus American girl has never been conservative, the books I read were pretty feminist and progressive.

This psycho woman sounds literally so deranged it's not worth the mental energy. Like she really sounds ****ed in the head

One Million Momsters giving the doll free promo. Thanks! If I were american I'd buy the doll just to piss them off.

What’s funny is assuming Mattel actually cares about desensitizing children and playing sides in the “culture war” and isn’t just chasing coin. The reach

"Conservative parents are outraged!"

Stay mad  hopefully your kids aren't too traumatized by you or at least they'll be able to shed your toxic bullsh*t when they reach maturity.

Xoxo, someone from a conservative family
