Two co-eds at the University of Wisconsin were attacked in late September after homophobic men taunted one of the girls for wearing American Apparel's ubiquitous "Legalize Gay" t-shirt. The girls are OK and have even used the deplorable circumstances to launch a dialogue on campus about hate crimes and anti-guy sentiment, but American Apparel, on the other hipster hand, is using the situation to sell more t-shirts. Sure, they sent 100 "Legalize Gay" shirts to the U. of Wisc. campus to spread the love, but the marketing ploy seems more exploitative than a sign of allegiance, right?

We don't care if every hipster in town dresses like they (or really does) work at American Apparel, it's to uncover any criticism of the LA-based apparel company, especially because it continues to pump out Prideful t-shirts (tasteful ones we can actually wear in front of mom).

First, it was the "Legalize Gay" shirt spreading our plea for equality across the chests of America; now it's vintage photographs redesigned as artistic t-shirts that are knockin' our neon yellow tube socks off...
