This \u200bbeloved American holiday tradition \u2063is about\u2063 to \u2062get\u2062 a dose\u200b of\u200b controversy and a \u2063touch of Hollywood glamour.<\/p>\n<p>According to The \u200dAssociated \u200cPress, the parade will feature\u2063 none \u200cother than Cher, the\u200b iconic singer and actress known for her liberal views and\u200b outspokenness. Cher,\u2064 who\u200b famously declared she would leave the United States if former\u2064 President Donald Trump was \u2064re-elected, will now take \u200bthe stage to entertain the nation.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not all. Breitbart News reports that the parade will also\u2063 showcase &#8220;non-binary&#8221; actors from two Broadway \u200cshows, adding a \u2063touch \u2063of gender non-conformity to\u200d the \u200cfestivities. \u200dOne of the shows, &#8220;&#038;\u200b Juliet,&#8221; reimagines the story of Romeo and Juliet and explores what might have happened \u2064if Juliet had not taken her own life. The other show, &#8220;Shucked,&#8221; is a\u2063 fantasy fable set in corn country.<\/p>\n<p>These\u2062 Broadway actors, \u2063who openly identify\u2062 as non-binary,\u200d are\u200d sure \u2064to grab attention and \u200bspark conversation. And you can bet that\u2063 NBC, the network broadcasting the parade,\u200b will make a big deal out of it.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, the news of Cher and \u2063the &#8220;non-binary&#8221; parade features has drawn criticism\u2064 on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-this-average-american-is-voting-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Why This Average American Is Voting for Donald Trump\">social media<\/a>. Some argue that \u200dthe \u2063parade should stick to its family-friendly\u200b roots and avoid controversial \u200btopics.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">No\u200b thanks to Macy\u2019s Transgender Day Parade\u2014The parade\u2063 coverage was already lousy. \u2064They wouldn\u2019t hardly show the floats.
