The window display of an American Apparel store in the D.C. area was smashed by an individual who was offended by the chain's "Legalize Gay" t-shirts. Employees from at least one other store were prompted to take down their displays after receiving threatening phone calls, but the company isn't so willing to back down.
“The store employee misspoke about taking the display down,” said a spokesperson. “Those decisions get made in Los Angeles and we wouldn’t want to give into something like this.” In response to the two incidents, American Apparel has also promised to provide free shirts for any D.C.-based groups fighting for gay marriage. I never thought I'd be so proud to have their undies on my bum.

pitiful… those vandals should be ashamed of themselves, they aren’t advancing their cause they are just making themselves look stupid.
i proudly support american apparel. their clothes are fun, fashionable and they are working for the greater good!
I want ot thank American Apparel for their courage and their support at Pride Charlotte 2009 festival yesterday. Ignore the haters.
I could only agree with the previous comment, those vandals should be ashamed of themselves, they aren’t advancing their cause they are just making themselves look stupid. thanks for the post.
