A Harps supermarket in Mountain View, Arkansas has placed a “family shield” over the Us Weekly cover of Elton John with his partner David Furnish and their new baby, to protect innocent children.

BUT! Here is the thing! They put the shield up after a few wingnuts complained, but took it back down after normal people called them outraged. Victory! The following statement now appears on their website:
This is why it’s always worth it, when these things happen, to follow up and communicate with the people involved in the situation. There, you have the COO of Harps Food Stores agreeing with the good guys and saying, “Y’all are right. That was a stupid decision. Fixed now!”
Good for them.
