I do not have any confirmation of the truth of this. The link to the catalogue looks like a real catalogue so I thought it looked legit enough to post.
Here is a link to the American Family Association website that sent out the “alert.” They say that Lowe’s has contacted them and apologized for the catalogue and say that they will call them “Christmas Trees” in their fliers. But they put out the catalogue as “Family Trees” and the Daily Kos has a lovely article today saying that “Family Tree” sounds so inclusive!

I only ask for confusion because by the time the AFA stuff gets to me the issue has been resolved.
I really like Lowe’s. I’d hate to have to switch.
