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.
While it's not my intention to support Wal Mart, necesarily, the $4 they got from this won't stop me from shopping there.
I respect Walmart for their past support of families on various issues...but they need to keep away from support of the radical, homosexual agenda.
I will tell them when they do right...and when they do wrong!

Any donations for heterosexual marriages? With all the special categories, I heard that's a dying breed.

This is only for a DC group's benefit and only if you go to their site. Solution? Don't patronize the gay group's site.

WalMart is listed as a PLENARY SPONSOR. This is evidently higher that a Platinum, Gold, Bronze, and Friend Sponsor.
As you say, it's probably not much different than other setups, but WalMart was a holdout to the homosexual pressure groups, now they've caved under pressure from the activists.
This is at least the 3rd thread on this topic, and I last argued on it several days ago.
Thanks, but just FYI.
