Meet Richard Hayne, President and CEO of Urban Outfitters. He’s a supporter of Rick Santorum and donated over $ 13,000 to him. He’s against gay marriage and abortion. His company pulled a pro-gay shirt back in 08, they’ve ripped off independent designers’ work on multiple occasions, featured a t-shirt for women that said “Eat Less” and most recently had a card with a Trans slur on in. Why do you shop at this store? I’d hope because you weren’t aware of these facts. Now you are, so THINK.

Athlete Aimee Mullins

“Born without fibulae in both legs, Aimee’s medical prognosis was discouraging; she was told she would never walk, and would likely spend the rest of her life using a wheelchair. In an attempt for an outside chance at independent mobility, doctors amputated both her legs below the knee on her first birthday. The decision paid off. By age two, she had learned to walk on prosthetic legs, and spent her childhood doing the usual athletic activities of her peers: swimming, biking, softball, soccer, and skiing, always alongside “able-bodies” kids.”
