So IKEA got in some hot water with Catholics after releasing a catalog featuring two men on a sofa with a child with the line "Why shouldn't sofas come in different flavors, like families?"

Responses came from conservatives and Catholics immediately, demanding that IKEA remove pro-acceptance of homosexuality messages from their catalog.

"I would not like to cease doing shopping in IKEA but if the firm does not stop promoting homosexual relationships, I will, unfortunately, feel compelled to do so and I will notify about it all the people I know so that they do the same," one Catholic woman wrote.

"Treating single-sex relationships on a par with married couples is impermissible," said Grzegorz Górny.
"IKEA's publication is a promotion of a particular style of living, which does not deserve public propagation. This is connected with the strategy of accustoming people to homosexual relationships and then of legalizing such relationships. This is done to establish their picture in society as equal and then to legalize them."

IKEA's response?

"Homosexuality is one of the essential elements of living in contemporary society."

Isn't that a very polite 'fuck you'? :)
