when you suck up to less than 4% of the population.. The same 4% that does a very good job of pissing off the other 96% of said population....
Your sales nose dive.
Duh..

Why can’t these people just sell stuff and leave the social indoctrination to the activists?
Oh, I forgot. The activists are running the companies. And the news media. And the schools.

They are turning their attention to gays and lesbians, a group that wields substantial buying power...Trees. I thought of this in the equivalence of trees.
A lumber yard intends to sell toothpicks instead of studs and beams.
What a waste. Good luck with that, lumberyard.

When we got married in 1972, our first credit card was JC Penney. Our quarters were stocked from that retailer for years. They sold us the basics with no frills. Now they are selling foo foo stuff at high prices. Too bad they lost track of the core American market.
A year ago, I cut up the card, not interested in someone who is not interested in us..

If I were back to school shopping for a school aged boy, I would make it a point to
avoid retailers who market to gays. I wouldn't want my kid to go anywhere near their dressing rooms.
Call me a homophobe if you want, but it is the same common sense reasoning I use not to drive into certain neighborhoods after dark.

The stock owners of JCP aka GayPenney have taken it in the rear with the GayPenney's in your face Gay marketing approach this year:
B&B's, bars and restaurants may do well if they advertise and want the gay business, others will probably fare like GayPenney has this year.

Gays are 2% OF the population. Not 10%.
Giving the finger to the 98% who aren't gay is brilliant marketing... and for all those companies that agree - I say 'go for it'. And while they're at it, shove those unappealing 'green' products that cost more and don't work down our throats. That will also increase popularity...
And one more thing - while you're at it - marketing based on sexual practices - don't forget the R Kelly types - he's the rapper who likes to pee on underaged girls. Don't discriminate against his type.

They should fire the dumbell who revealed their inner marketing strategies to the public. If they want to do this, that is fine- that's their decision- but releasing that info publicly is a marketing action in itself, and not a good one.
not all their customers care about social agenda of their vendors
and there will be a majority of those who are annoyed by it

If anyone doubts how the gay in your face ads impacated GayCPenney look at the chart below in May and June after their in your face pro Gay Mother's Day and Father's ads ran.
The downward slope looks like a world class downhill ski slope.

I suspect any company which promotes a homosexual agenda will find their action counter-productive. I once was a JC Penny customer, primarily because their store was on the route between work and home, but not any longer.

So 1-2 percent of the human race is a large enough group to sell out for?
So you pick up even 100% of them and you lose 1% of the other 98-99% of the human race and this makes sense to retailers?
IDIOTS..............
