Wonder if their decline in sales had anything to do with their corporate acceptance of homosexuals and lesbians.

Yep. I wondered the same thing. Their earnings began to plummet about the time they shafted the Boy Scouts for being morally straight.

I haven't worn them for years. Levis are the "gay jean", not to be confused with the elusive "gay gene"

Their sales started to slide when they decided to concentrate on the urban market and ignore the rural and blue collar market. Wrangler (what I am wearing now) moved into these markets and has a large share, the sponsor rodeo and other events. Wrangler still has a large portion of its production in the US. They also have not to my knowledge voiced opinion one on any politics.
