Move along folks...

...nothing uni-dimensional to see here...
The prize piece in their display window is a coffin decorated with images of mostly naked, muscular young men in athletic poses inspired by Italian Renaissance paintings.

“We believe you should be able to have a coffin that lets you embark on your last journey in a way that reflects how you lived your life,” undertaker Thomas Brandl told Reuters on Thursday.
A life defined by what you did with your genitals?

Seriously?
The gay couple also sell coffins and urns in rainbow colours — the international symbol of the gay and lesbian movement — and offer burials around a tree reserved exclusively for homosexuals.
And the dulcet tones of The Village People offer a last touching memory.

"Are we to assume you no longer care about grandparent feelings? If that's the case, then why do you care about the availability of these caskets?"

LAST WORD: Yoohoo, Chris... over here

In your personal crusade against perceived homophobia... ya think maybe there might possibly be some bigger fish to fry?
Thanks to an amendment supported by a group of African and Muslim nations — which passed by a vote of 79-70 — the reference to sexual orientation has been struck from this year’s resolution.
