Gorbals Boys, WITH HIGH HEELS

Just thought I'd post this article and see what people here thought.
It's about a statue being unveiled which shows 3 young boys in high heels, based on a photograph from the 60's.
I'm from Glasgow, and this just makes me sick, there are so many things that could have been sculpted, but they chose boys wearing high heels. I know it's based on a famous photograph, but I don't think it's right to be showing young boys wearing women's shoes as a sculpture, but I'm no art critic, so what do I know?
Here's the article: BBC NEWS | Scotland | Glasgow, Lanarkshire and West | Sculpture recreates iconic photo

To Admins, I would have posted the picture from the link but I don't know how to *hint, hint*.
