I plan to contact Wal-mart's public relations  person Karen Burke at (479) 273-4314 and tell her how disappointed I am that they've fallen prey to the political correct crowd. Equal treatment for all, but special rights for none. If you want to contact them via the web, here is the  Link.  I can hear Sam rolling over in his grave.

Protect the Gays from what? Each other?

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

Protect their gay employees from what? I must say, I've never noticed ravening bands of blue-blazered Republicans lurking outside Wal-Mart, waiting to beat up the hommersekshuls.

[GaConfed]

What it means is all employees except homosexuals will be strong armed into working off the clock for free.

[ladyinred]

We are being bombarded with gays.
Luckily, I never go into Wal_Mart anyway, but they need to realize that they project an image of being a family store and knock this junk off.

[lilylangtree]

Another step up the ladder advancing the queer agenda of constitutional protected rights that they don't deserve.

WAL-MART ANNOUNCES PLANS TO PROTECT GAY EMPLOYEES

What would that be? Did Wal-Mart find a way to cure cancer and every known STD?

New Wal-Mart Policy Protects Gay Workers

What's Walmart planning to do? Give each homo a condom when they clock-out?

[PeaceCorpsGuy]

This is a topic that I just don't seem to understand. Look at the Gay Pride prouds that occured all over the nation. They said they are demonstrating their freedom and lifestyle. Personally, I have no problem with anybody lifestyle as long as I don't have to pay for it or sit next to someone on a plane and have to hear about it. Still, its hard to explain to a five year about two people of the same sex showing public displays of affection not to mention the the insane behavior that goes on. Whats WalMart going to do next? Special consideration for those who committ adultry, NAMBLA followers, and S and M?

[mn-bush-man]

Dag-nabbit! It's getting harder and harder to find places we CAN shop now days! Guess its time to go all out supporting the mom-and-pop locally owned nickel and dime stores again.

[fish hawk]

What, free condoms???

[Diddle E. Squat]

Shouldn't this be Breaking News?

[TonyM]

No doubt that Wal-Mart's days are numbered. They may be the biggest retailer for now but its stuff like this that will provide an opening for another enterprising chain to begin stealing Wal-Mart customers by doing what Wal-Mart did in the beginning when Sam was alive, focus on the customer, not the employee. In 20 or 30 years Wal-Mart will have went the way of K-Mart.

[frnewsjunkie]

Walmart has run every "dime store" out of most towns and cities. They have monopolized the market till there is hardly any other choice but Walmart. KMart has closed in our area... Target is still here. But the Walmart stores are always crowded.

They didn't have to do this... totally unnecessary... and totally too politically correct. Makes NO sense.

Who started this bandwagon... and where is it going to end? Not good.

[Centurion2000]

One to two percent of the damned planet is homosexual and they have become the PC exalted elect.

This is disgusting

[El Gato]

I can hear Sam rolling over in his grave.

So that's what that sound from the northeast was! I thought maybe a tornado was taking down northeast San Antonio. :)

[dogbyte12]

This is not a radical policy here. Wal-Mart is not giving benefits, acknowledging same sex couples, but just saying that people can't be rejected for employment for being gay, or being fired for the same.

This costs them zero dollars in benefits, and it is quasi in place already. Somebody isn't going to be fired at most Wal-Marts for being gay as it is, so this really is not a radical overturn of policy. It wasn't as if Wal-Mart had a corporate policy of firing gays. This just codifies it.

[redangus]

This the letter I sent to Wal-Mart in response to their new policy.


It has recently come to my attention that Wal-Mart has decided to change their family friendly policies and begin supporting the homosexual agenda that seems to be an epidemic sweeping the country. While Wal-Mart certainly has the right to make this change in their corporate policy, I as a regular shopper and stock holder also have the right to show my disapproval by taking my money elsewhere. I intend to do both by shopping at other stores and selling my stock. It is also my intention to pass this information on to as many of my family, friends and associates as possible.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Gays are predators. Period.

Look what they're doing to our society. They won't quit. Even when they're ahead like in the last week.

[expatguy]

hrmmm interesting...

I have a trading company in SE Asia that supplies outdoor furniture to distributors and retailers in the United States.

If I hire a few butt pirates in my local office here can I strong arm Walmart into selecting my small company over another supplier?
