I am proud of Mattel for taking a stand against political correctness gone way too far. These are dolls for little children. Using the Barbie image to promote homosexuality is beyond the pale. If we can protect our children from the homosexual influence with all it's confusion and emotional pain, don't you think its better to let well enough alone?
