Wal-Mart asks for, and receives, permission to join homosexual marriage group

Read "Wal-Mart Partners With Gay and Lesbian Group"

Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the world, has asked for and received permission to join the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. The NGLCC is a leading promoter of homosexual marriage.

Although Wal-Mart has never excluded homosexuals from being employees, customers, or suppliers, the company wanted to be more closely identified with promoting the homosexual agenda. Wal-Mart is now a "corporate member" of the NGLCC, putting their approval on the NGLCC's efforts to abolish the definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman. A Wal-Mart vice president will serve as an advisor to the NGLCC, helping them promote homosexual marriage.

Wal-Mart agreed to give $25,000 to the NGLCC and to pay for two conferences scheduled by NGLCC. Also, Wal-Mart will give homosexual-owned businesses special treatment when making purchases. Companies not owned by homosexuals will be moved down the list.

NGLCC called Wal-Mart's action "part of the company's ongoing commitment to advancing diversity (homosexuality) among all of its associate, supplier and customer bases."

Wal-Mart is offering the same kind of support for homosexual marriage which Ford Motor Company has been giving to homosexual groups for years.

Yikes! I am really surprised. Walmart has always been a family friendly business!

Sam's death changed a lot of things...but even before then, the Hildabeast was, IIRC, on its board of directors.

 

[tutstar]

Shock me ping.

Wal-Mart -- buy a clue from Target, nobody cares except the people you offend.

[tutstar]

I had no clue about Hildabeast! Will Walmart have GayDays like Disney? EWWWWWW!!!!

[Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit]

Somehow, I think these claims are exaggerated. Show me where Wal-Mart agrees to move non-homo-owned businesses down the list.

Sounds more like a standard RAT scare tactic being used for the opposite affect. I am not in love with the fact the Wal-Mart did this, but I am reading the claims as to the affects of the commitment with very, very skeptical glasses.

In other news, corporate officials intend to dig up the corpse of Sam Walton, make an appointment for him at a trendy salon and dress him in Armani. Plans are also in the works for a television special, Queer Eye for the Dead Guy.

I cant wait to see the first flaming homo as their Walmart greeter.

Would the greeter have to be eighty, also, like at all of the other stores?

[tutstar]

KMart was boycotted for several years. I don't think a boycott of Walmart would be supported though. Maybe I'm wrong about that.

[tutstar]

UGH! That's a scary thought!

[tutstar]

An old one at that too! Icky!

[durasell]

They should be boycotted just on the grounds of pulling such a breathtakingly naive public relations stunt.

A)It's going to tick off a lot of regular wal-mart shoppers who don't like gay people.

B)The vast majority of gay guys in large cities weren't born in large cities. Many of them came from small towns. One of the reasons they moved to large cities -- aside from getting away from the folks who don't like them -- is to avoid shopping in Wal-Mart. The chances of them popping into wal-mart to shop are roughly the same as them using a primer coated, 72 dodge charger on blocks as a lawn ornament at their house in the Hamptons.

I always thought it was a family owned business too. I am giving Walmart the benefit of the doubt. They are being crucified right now and would not be surprised if they are just being screwed over again by the media.

[tutstar]

I am going to call them and I plan to ask if it is true first, then I will voice my opinion politely. I don't recall AFA jumping the gun in the past though. It does not seem like they would because it would hurt their credibility.

[shibumi]

I stopped going to Target when I found out they were french and slighted the Salvation Army, stopped going to Costco when they supported the minimum wage, the unions and the DNC, and now I'll have to cut out Sam's Club and WallyWorld.

SHEESH! Maybe I'll have to open my own general store!

[tutstar]

read my 16, was going to include you in the TO but forgot.

[durasell]

Target isn't French. They're based in the midwest. People say "tar-jay" as a joke that disguises the discount chain's name.

[tutstar]

It stinks really!

I do a lot of food shopping there. I do not stop in there for a small buy though, it's just not convenient as a run in and out. I buy meat when the grocery stores have it on sale. I could do without Walmart , it would just cost a bit more.
