Wal-Mart Contributes 5% Of Online Sales To Homosexual Group
Sign the pledge not to shop at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club on the Friday and Saturday following Thankgiving
Help recruit 1,000,000 to agree to not shop at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club (owned by Wal-Mart) on the Friday and Saturday following Thanksgiving. Here's why:
In a show of support to help homosexuals legalize same-sex marriage, Wal-Mart has agreed to automatically donate 5% of online sales directly to the Washington DC Community Center for Gay, Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender People. The cash donation will come from ALL online purchases made at Wal-Mart through the homosexual group's Web site. This move follows Wal-Mart's joining the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and agreeing to give generous financial help to that group.
Every purchase made online for books, music, videos, clothing and accessories, children's clothing and toys, and electronics at the site will automatically send 5% of the sales to the homosexual group.
With this agreement, Wal-Mart made clear their support for the homosexual movement was a total commitment to the cause.
Many observers feel it would have been a wise business decision for Wal-Mart to remain neutral in the cultural battle over homosexual marriage. But this was an ideological decision by Wal-Mart, not a business decision. Wal-Mart decided to give the promotion of homosexual marriage their full support.

The headline was your typical headline. For some reason you expect the headline to be more than a headline.
The AFA has followed Walmarts actions for some time and have seen results from previous boycotts. The Snopes link I gave you demonstrated exactly that.
Chocolate? Those are fighting words!
Have you tried Dove Sugar free chocolates?
No but I just looked them up and now I'm in trouble. Gotta go get some...
Actually you can get them at Wal Mart. :-(
But Target sells them too. :-)
I don't shop at Target either.
They kicked the Salvation Army out at Christmas.
I think it's down to K-Mart or Meijers (sp?)
Sigh.
Where Would Jesus Shop? (WWJS)
Has anyone on this thread ever bought flowers for their wives?
Has anyone on this thread ever flown on a plane with a male flight attendant?
Jesus shopped at local vendors.
Maybe I should to.
Send a message to the BIGS: shop at the 5 & Dime.
:>)
(And the independent grocer.)
IMHO, boycotts are poor stewardship.
I could be doing something productive in the time it takes to keep up with all of them.
You know, Amazon contributes 5% of their online sales to me too, when the sale is made though a link on one of my sites. Same thing as described here. I'm not sure this can really be called a 'contribution', it is a 'commission' - a percentage of sales generated.
Tempest in a teapot.

Ok. I did a "quick search" of the Wal-Mart website. I plugged in the word "gay" and I turned up the movies Flubber, Spy Hard (with Leslie Nielsen), True Crime, Space Cowboys, a book called "Explorations of Topology: Map Coloring, Surfaces and Knots", many books on Religion and Sprituality (presumably advocating for the most part anti-gay ideas), poems by Robert Gay, a novel by William Gay, a history of the Enola Gay, several hundred murder mysteries, etc.
Yes, there a bunch of gay-themed novels and books on gay issues. But other than books, what "gay" items are you referring to? "Gay" stereo systems? "Gay" bicycles? "Gay" shoes?
This boycott is gay.
