Homosexual activists are pressuring PayPal to cut off the accounts of pro-family Christian organizations that oppose the homosexual political agenda and uphold sexual morality, and PayPal is showing signs that it may capitulate to their demands.
The homosexual organization behind the effort, All Out, claims that such organizations as Tradition, Family, and Property, and Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), as well as pro-family Christian activist Julio Severo, promote “hate, violence, and intolerance” and are “extremist.”
The two organizations are mainstream pro-family, Christian groups that reject hatred of homosexuals but uphold traditional sexual morality and oppose legal privileges for homosexuals. Julio Severo...is recognized widely in Brazil as one of the country’s most prominent pro-life and pro-family activists; he teaches love of homosexuals while opposing the gay political agenda....
“Thanks to PayPal, its (sic) easier than ever to send and receive money across currencies and continents - but it is also PayPal’s responsibility to make sure this technology doesn’t fall in the wrong hands. Anti-LGBT extremists all over the world are currently using PayPal to fundraise for their dangerous cause,” writes All Out....
According to the European homosexual news service PinkNews, PayPal has responded by stating, “We take very seriously any cases where a user has incited hatred, violence or intolerance because of a person’s sexual orientation.”
Although it adds, “we also take into account the rights of free speech and freedom of religion,” PayPal reportedly goes on to note, “we regularly review organisations and websites that use our service, and stop working with those that break our Acceptable Use Policy.”

Paypal is a business, customers of any sort to me should have a right to petition to remove organizations, so petitioning Paypal to not revoke these accounts is a proper and reasoned response.
Paypal will make a business decision, based on the bottom line.
However, not being able to use Paypal isn’t economic death. It is a tool, but a business, not some sort of right. They will have to evaluate the impact to the business.
I have my doubts if these organizations, particularly Tradition, Family and Property, are what I’d think of as “mainstream”, so I’m not going to sign the petition.
Paypal already supports Planned Parenthood. They, like any corporation, has business interests and politics. If you don’t like their politics, don’t use them.
Anyone even know how to just send a Western Union wire anymore? It ain’t that hard.
That may end up the fatal factor. Supposedly one cannot patent a business model, so rivals to PayPal could arise in principle, but that may be a USA thing.
I believe Pay Pal is eBay owned.
Blatant attacks on traditional values on FR by homosexuals or homosexual cheerleaders get them zotted pretty darn quick. FR doesn’t zot just because of being possibly gay, for example our own Mr. Ramsbotham.
They are sooooooooooo “tolerant”.
Yes, they bought it about a year or so back (date may be hazy) if I recall correctly. Another reason I don’t use the service.
Then eBay and other sites will be forced to separate paypal from credit card charges in order to continue to serve us hetero’s who don’t pander to those 3%ers .
The first time I heard the term, “DINK’s (Double Income, No Kids) it was a fagula that said it.
0bama uses Paypal for donations and so does his new attack website that is inciting hatred and violence against America!
Then eBay and other sites will be forced to separate paypal from credit card charges in order to continue to serve us hetero’s who don’t pander to those 3%ers .

No they wont. they will continue to marginalize people who object. Classic Leftist manipulation
That 2% can talk a company into hurting the 98% seems retarded to me.
Eventually Christians and other should play the same game back and make them stop gay accounts I guess.
Signed.
A flavor of PayPal called GayPal, huh.
At least that would be more honest and open than the joint in Gary, IN I see a humongous sign for by I65: “Truckers’ World.” As I just happened to have an item I wanted to market to (literal, traditional-valued) truckers, I checked them out. URRRGH! UPCHUCK CITY! It’s a gay faggot queer poofter place, that not only sells naughty media, but has toilet booths made to look like the kind of truck stop that gay faggot queer poofters would love.
Christian organizations ought to start up their own online payment system in competition with paypal. Watch all those Christians leave paypal, and see if paypal can get homosexuals to take up the slack.
I have almost eliminated E Bay from my purchasing source.
I go to Amazon and find the same thing for less, no tax and as a Prime member I usually do not have to pay shipping.
How many time do you see on E Bay where some idiot pays 10 to 15% more for an item that it costs in Walmart.
Something like BullionBrother?
Ebay is a viable place to look for older and rarer things. Anything still being made will almost certainly be a better deal elsewhere, due to the Ebay overhead.
Not very tolerant are they
They are opening a Pandora box, here. There are a lot more pro-family heterosexuals than homos, and they are declaring war.
