This billboard above has been taken down by the company responsible for it after alot of people on an off social media condemned it for being Transphobic. The advert which reads "I hope your sack is full as mine this Xmas" had people feeling some type of way. The company Cranium Signage,located in New Zealand, took it down and apologized
"We have removed our post and are now removing the sign tonight due to people taking offence. It was not our intention to offend any people in the community/world. I as the owner have no feelings of discrimination to the Gay or transgender community and if one of my family was I would love them just the same. Cait is more than welcome to stay at my house with my family anytime. I will have a wine or a beer with her quite happily and it would be an honour. Lots of love Phil wishing you all a Merry Christmas"
Not done with their apology, Cranium signage also announced that they will be making a donation to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community (LGBT)
"We apologize to all those who have been offended by our sign. It was very poor judgement on our part. We have made a donation to Rainbow Youth who support queer & gender diverse youth in New Zealand"
