I have some money in Sun Trust Bank.

I am evaluating whether to sever ties with them. I am extremely angry that they would be involved in shunning a good customer over social/political views.

The Gaystapo will not be denied...

I used to have a Suntrust account. If I still had it I would cancel immediately. I took all of my IRA accounts away from 20th Century Investments after they contributed to an anti CCW campaign that I think was in Kansas.

They'll just do a slo-mo passive-aggressive version now.

Imagine ANYONE in the banking business taking any kind of a stance publicly on a moral issue. UNHEARD of.

TheDC reported earlier Friday that the vendor had told a Benham Brothers franchisee that the bank itself made the decision.

So, was the vendor misrepresenting Suntrust, and should be fired, or is Sun Trust lying?

[Mr. K]

The suntrust company is infiltrated with the gaystapo

One of them has achieved a high enough position to make such a decision

They heard about the HGTV fiasco and decided to pile on, using suntrust - getting them to drop their PROFITABLE business.

Someone higher up noticed the backlash and stepped in to stop it before it reached disaster status. They should FIRE the gaystapo agent who tried to do this based on political belief and NOT shareholder value decision.

[BerryDingle]

Of course that’s not discrimination, or reverse. Stupid idiots.

[kempster]

Their position is now well known. They will have a hard time reversing their original decision.
