Dear Hobby Lobby

Dear Hobby Lobby,

How can you carry glitter

in passion rose, silver peacock,

petal pink, and sunrise shimmer

and be homophobic?

How can you sell 96 colors

of Crayola crayons,

all packed in the same box,

and still see people

as only pink or blue?

You five 551 different colors

of embroidery floss

(yes, I counted)

How could you be filled

with so much color and sparkle

and be so bland, so boring,

so bigoted?

How can you stock 770 shades

of the same brand of acrylic paint

and then be mad

when the canvas reveals

a beautiful rainbow?
