Would you find cards that celebrated polygamist Muslim marriages acceptable? Consenting adult incest unions?

Why does it matter? It doesn't cost me anything when they're made, and I'm not required to buy them, or even pick them up off the rack.

I'm far more offended that I'm forced to pay, via my taxes, a share of $336 million to Planned Parenthood in a year in order to snuff out the lives of innocent, defenseless babies, but it's against the law to boycott the government by keeping your own money.

Compared to that, two men or two women committing to spend their lives with one another is a glowing beacon of wholesome Americana.

Expending so much energy over a few sappy, nondescript greeting cards is a waste of precious energy that could go to winning hearts and minds to the cause of life and liberty, something that this feel-good hysterical "think of the children" boycott nonsense is doing the opposite of.

We should concentrate on world-proofing our children with the Holy Armor of the love of the Almighty, instead of trying to child-proof the world and forcing others to permit us to avoid having to explain things that are difficult or uncomfortable to explain.

Straw man. I never said the key reason was protecting children from the greeting cards aisle.

I said that the issue here was the Hallmark company is endorsing, celebratri8ng, and helping to mainstream, disgusting, evil, unnatural, dangerous sexually deviant behavior - which DOES have a negative effect on society as a whole - and it is both proper and logical to make the decision to NOT reward them for this behavior by withdrawing your patronage.

It they created sympathy cards for abortions with proceeds going to “planned parenthood” would you feel the same way?
