What does sentiment is on the inside of one of these Homosexual Hallmark Cards?

“Be filled with joy and men on your Gay Day
May you always have sex on demand without consequence
Be queer, without fear, my dear!”

It’s not a wedding, it’s an abomination, learn the difference.

Make sure you tell you local Hallmark franchisee. They have the real pull with the company. You can bet that McDonalds would not have changed its position if the franchisees di not demand it.

I wish I could boycott Hallmark for producing homosexual cards. However I have not bought “greeting cards” for many years now. $4 $6 per card and more. I can make my own cards on my computer for less then a dollar. The local Christian Bookstore sells a small selection of nice cards for 99 cents.
In the economy we have its hard to understand how a “greeting card industry can even exsist

I make my own greeting cards on my computer as well. Who needs Hallmark? Too bad-they used to be a decent company.

HALLMARK also owns :

In addition to the Hallmark flagship, the company also markets cards under the Ambassador and Expressions from Hallmark brand names. The company’s products are sold in Hallmark retail outlets, through mass merchandise stores, and via the hallmark.com web site.

Over the years, Hallmark has branched out into other products and services that use creativity and emotion to help people connect, including stationery, party goods, gift wrap, photo albums, cut flower arrangements, home decor, collectibles, books, and Christmas ornaments.

In the late 1990s, the company acquired several specialized greeting card companies that operate as wholly owned subsidiaries, including DaySpring Cards, Inc., the leader in Christian personal expression products; InterArt Holding Corporation, maker of high-quality greeting cards and related products including the Mary Engelbreit and Holly Pond Hill lines; and William Arthur, Inc., which offers customized holiday cards, wedding invitations, fine stationery, and other high-end products.

Hallmark’s Binney & Smith Inc. subsidiary specializes in personal skill development products, including Crayola crayons, Magic Markers, modeling material, creativity software, model kits, and art supplies for professionals and students.

Hallmark also creates family-oriented television programming through its Hallmark Entertainment, Inc. subsidiary. Hallmark Entertainment holds a controlling majority stake in Crown Media Holdings, Inc., operator and distributor of two cable television channels: the Hallmark Channel and the Kermit Channel.

Yet another wholly owned subsidiary is The Picture People, operator of more than 250 mall-based portrait studios in 26 states.

Unfortunately, like some other companies, they apparently can’t stand there being a demographic they haven’t “captured”.

I have a horrible urge to send one of these cards to Fred Phelps.

I’d join the boycott, but I don’t think I’ve bought a Hallmark card in 20 or 30 years.

Me either. I make my own and personalize them for that extra touch.

re: My idea for a new card...
“Heard you’re going to Hawaii on your honeymoon!”
“Hope it’s a real bummer!”

That was pretty good!

I haven’t bought Hallmark cards since the Dollar Stores starting carrying 2 cards for a dollar.

Hallmark has feasted on profits from the same heartland values they now want to trash...

What did you think "ShoeBox Greetings" were?

Hallmark has been on my $hit list for a very long time.

I will definitely be checking who’s producing the products I’m buying from now on.

Sad to hear that Dayspring is owned by Hallmark.

I used to joke that my family keeps Hallmark in business. You never saw such card senders. Well, the local Duane Reade is getting my greeting-card dollars now.

Hallmark isn't doing this for money. They're doing it because like many businesses, institutions, agencies, foundations and so on they have been consciously infiltrated by aggressive homosexuals pushing their agenda. It's propaganda, not money, I am sure. The whole plan was described in detail:
