Department store chain Debenhams is under fire for selling offensive ‘gay in a manger’ Christmas jumpers online.
Multiple complaints were sent into Debenhams after shoppers discovered a purple jumper and a matching mug emblazoned with the slogan ‘gay in a manger’. While initially it was claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that their customer service teams may have been deleting these emails without reading them, the department store has now removed the product from their website – though has issued no apology.
Prior to the chain removing the products, Pastor Rikki Doolan, leader of a church in London, had been planning to organise a protest. He took to X to condemn Debenhams, asking them: ‘Do you think it’s right to freely mock our faith and God like this?’
