It's one thing for Walmart to "court" business. But I can't buy stuff online from Walmart, knowing that 5% of what I pay them is being sent to a group advocating things I think will harm society.

I 'think' its only online purchases made from the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce's website.

The criticism began when Wal-Mart announced it would join the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. And now Wal-Mart has made a deal with the Washington DC Center for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender People, agreeing to donate 5 percent of the sales made through the group's website to the Center.

"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 CCBLBT People," the AFA said in a message to its supporters.

I think the AFA should go after religious groups that allow gays before worrying about the rest of society.

The question is, why is Walmart specifically doing a "donation drive" for gays? Do they think people will spend more money at their web site knowing their money is going to a political organization pushing the gay agenda?

Look at it this way. Walmart is actually encouraging homosexuals to NOT physically shop in their stores. ;)

Thanks, I misunderstood the message because I didn't read it right.
