It's said traditionally of pink and blue that pink is for girls and blue is for boys. She shouldn't have changed the name. Let those who harbour prejudice wallow in their ignorance. In the Western world, pink is considered the gay colour. Why should that be a problem? In any case, that a woman is married to a man does not mean she could not be a practising lesbian, just as a man married to a woman could be a closet gay. Let's enjoy our businesses and lives and not be restricted by the prejudice of ignorant, bigoted minds. April 8, 2014 at 2:52 PM Anonymous said... She is doing an amazing job, I don't care if she is a lesbian or a hermaphrodite.... Whatever two consenting adults do in their private time is their private business and am sooo tired of societal conspiracy theory that states that every feminine foundation is either a prostitution or homosexual cartel ......Tired of them knocking women off..#cheezyjayne April 8, 2014 at 2:55 PM dat girl said...
