Twitter Reminds Amazon That Their 'Lady Boy' Costume Sucks

Amazon gave the LGBT community neither a trick nor a treat.

Perhaps an open letter to Jeff Bezos and Amazon.com would have helped? Maybe reading the pages of his newspaper in Washington D.C. could have been a clue?

It’s 2-0-1-5 and the idea of an LGBT offensive smear gift is probably a really stupid idea.

Case in point: It’s nearing All Hallows Eve. And while many kids are searching for ways to dress up like a super hero, a civil servant, or something slightly more ghoulish, the doltish buyers at Amazon thought offering a costume called “Lady Boy Drag” would be a surefire win.

Wait, what?! 

Most of us in the PRNewserverse immediately would ascertain that in this day and age, making fun of the LGBT community isn’t a good idea.
