According to the Nashville Gay Pride website, Home Depot gave over $5,000 to be a major sponsor of its 2009 Gay Pride Festival in June. But simply financing the event wasn't enough for the big box chain.
Home Depot also signed on as a vendor, conducting kid's craft workshops for children via a special booth set up just for them.
To this end, Home Depot is basically encouraging the attendance of children at events which openly expose them to transvestites, cross-dressers, and homosexual activities.
Unfortunately, Home Depot's participation in the Nashville Pride Festival doesn't stand alone. It has also sponsored kid's booths at other gay events in Atlanta, Kansas City, Durham, Portland, and San Diego.
Gay pride events have a long track record for offensive public displays of homosexual conduct. Obviously, Home Depot is OK with the idea of exposing children to an unhealthy and risky environment. So much so, it is willing to participate in it.
TAKE ACTION
Let Home Depot know you are sickened by their support and approval of children at homosexual events. If you are a customer, please add an additional personal line to our prepared letter to Home Depot.

related, it should be noted that BankAmerica is a proud sponsor of “Cross Dressing in the Park,” if that matters to anyone.
I prefer to pay a little more at the local hardware store than go to Home Depot and Lowes. People who work there psuque and much of their merchandise is crap.
Seriously though, gonna run out of places to shop soon.
I prefer Lowes anyway.
I don’t know how many Gay Handymen there are but...(there has to be a tool or plunger joke here somewhere)
I agree, I like Ace
I haven’t spent a dime at Home Depot in ten years. I believe they have also funded various anti-second amendment groups such as Sarah Brady’s organization.
This is sickening. I just got back from Home Depot. That will be my last time spending money there.
I used to work for Home Depot...my store’s General Manager was a total Butch: (s)he weighed in @ well over 300 lb, had a crew cut & wore about a dozen earrings in each ear, LOL. You could see water sloshing back & forth in glasses as (s)he walked by. Speak about FUGLY! Sheeesh!!!!!!
pro-illegals as well and a “don’t give a damn” attitude about it. Called and wrote them and I state that as FACT based on their reply and response.
Haven’t shopped there in years.
Lowe’s(big or bulk items) and my local hardware store are where I go.

The people (regular employees, that is, 'cuz their management SUCKS) that I worked w/ when I worked for Home Depot were -- & still are -- absolutely WONDERFUL, decent people. Many of them patriots, too. I tended one of the tables @ our April 15th Tea Party & I saw @ least 3 of my co-workers there.
Yeah, we had tons of illegals coming in to the store ea & every day. We oftentimes had to page an employee who could speak Spanish to come to a certain department. Too bad there wasn’t a Border Patrol agent walking around our store incognito!
They aren’t “Pride” parades. They are SEX parades.
Well, looks like the local stores and Lowes will be getting my business from now on.
I’m a Lowes guy.
You know you’ve spent too much money there when they know you by name.
It’s a miracle if I get out the door for under $50.00

I avoid Home Depot and I resent how they destroyed the quality of the brands that they sell by telling the manufacturers to introduce cheap products into their lines and I see the fruits of their do it yourself marketing which has enabled any guy with a pick up truck to pass himself off as a journeyman in all trades.
I have to replace major work that is only two to ten years old, that we used to think of as having a lifetime of 50 to 100 years.
Though I may sound like I'm defending Home Depot when it comes to shopping at Lowe's or Home Depot I generally pick Lowe's cause it closer even though Home Depot is across the street. Use to shop equally at both, but have decided to start checking where various companies headquarters are to better educate myself in deciding which stores to shop at, wouldn't want to go shopping at some company that is headquarter is some big Democratic controlled city now would I. Will in case of Home Depot I found it headquarter pretty darn close to Chicago and Lowe's near some smaller city in ?North or ?South Carolina. So I've been shopping at Lowe's a lot more since I've researched that.
I did look at my old "The Blue Pages" copyrighted 2006 and found that in ?2006 Home Depot gave $558,733 to the Republicans and $116,162 to the Democrats basically 83% to the Republicans and 17%to the Democrats. Lowe's gave 100% to the Republicans but it was a really small amount of $9250. Also it mentions that Home Depot offers insurance to employees' domestic partners, where as Lowe's doesn't but I'm not quiet sure if that means gay or lesbian partners which I suppose it does. But I must warn this data is almost a whole election cycle old.
Does anybody else have a more current copy of "The Blue Pages" and if you do what does it say for Home Depot and Lowe's
I may have spent $150 or so in HD in 10+ years and never cared for the place. Lowe’s tends to have a better layout and store design.
