Retailers Are Put on the Spot Over Anti-Gay Aid By ERIK ECKHOLM September 25, 2011
Matthew Ryan Williams
A handful of advocates, armed with nothing more than their keyboards, have put many of the country’s largest retailers, including Apple, Microsoft, Netflix and Wal-Mart, on the spot over their indirect and, until recently, unnoticed roles in funneling money to Christian groups that are vocal in opposing homosexuality.
The advocates are demanding that the retailers end their association with an Internet marketer that gets a commission from the retailers for each online customer it gives them. It is a routine arrangement on hundreds of e-commerce sites, but with a twist here: a share of the commission that retailers pay is donated to a Christian charity of the buyer’s choice, from a list that includes prominent conservative evangelical groups like the Family Research Council and Focus on the Family.
The marketer and the Christian groups are fighting back, saying that the hundred or so companies that have dropped the marketer were misled and that the charities are being slandered for their religious beliefs.

It has gone from “the love that dare not speak its name” to “the hate that demands everyone else validate it...or else”.
Now it’s a jihad on Paypal.
Many people despise Paypal for a myriad of reasons, real or imaginary, but this looks like a move to try to get Paypal to jilt the Christian groups or to give some baksheesh to the gay groups. Well, Paypal probably gets a lot more business from Christian groups than it does from gay groups. How many Christian businesses can you find in a Google search, compared to gay businesses?
Chick-fil-A has a pretty nice concept. Their contemporary product doesn’t seem to be as good as I remembered it from a few decades ago. Maybe it’s the peanut oil they say they are using now, when it used to be corn or soy oil.
Guaranteed this originated from inside or close to the white hut. Just ask yourself..’why now?’ It’s part of re-energizing their freak show constituencies.
I’m not a big chicken sandwich eater myself. Just mainly occasionally eat there to show my support.
My kids, on the other hand, could probably keep them in business all by themselves. Something called ‘’chicken minis’’ or some such thing for breakfast.
Won’t that be something when the Muzzies gain so much more population in the US with our declining birth rates, then face the queers!
There IS a reason it’s called Homo Depot.
Good question.
Maybe a Group like ‘Christian For Family Values Companies”
But that would mean boycotting 90% of companies including Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Oracle, AT&T, Microsoft; Verizon and the names never stop.
This isn’t even about the companies in question supporting these pro family groups, it’s simply the internet retail buyers donating a portion of the commission they pay through an internet marketer to a Christian charity of their choosing. The homofascists are intent on shutting down all dissent.
The companies who rolled over for this nonsense and decided to discriminate against and punish these pro family Christian ministries include Apple, Microsoft, Avis, Westin Hotels and Expedia.
I will do my level best to not support in any way these companies actively working to undermine Biblical values.
Has anyone compiled a List of these companies that “rolled over” to these Sodomite fascists? We need to be pro-active otherwise we’ll end up being another London or Berlin or Sydney.
There's only free speach when the progs agree with you, otherwise it is hate speach and you are to be destroyed.
“They just cannot grasp that much of the normal world does not support their lifestyle and they should do themselves a favor and get used to it.”
Wat they cannot grasp is many people don’t give a rats butt what they do. But they turn everything into a drama and bring attention to it.
When the rats get the illegal vote they will throw the gays under the bus.
I don’t know. I would imagine this Christian based internet marketer CBCG would for certain have a list. The thing that’s especially noxious about these companies is that this isn’t really about just supporting the homo agenda but actively working to limit the ability of consumers to support these Christian ministries with their commission dollars that these companies such as Apple never ever even see. Even homo friendly companies like Delta and Target decided this was a bridge too far.
Add Macys to that list as well.
Nice, we have the Taliban right here in the US. No Freedom of Speech when it comes to the Sodomites.
There was a young man coming out of homosexuality in our Bible Study a decade or so ago. He said that every sodomite every morning wakes up and KNOWS it is wrong and a perversion. I believe that is why they fight so hard for acceptance.
Odd how liberals can't see that... you're right, Drill.
You mean like Home Depot?
Form a group of like minded associates. Rally members to your cause. Accuse your enemies of hate and bigotry. Threaten business with boycotts for supporting your enemies. Threaten politicians with dismissal from office. It works for them. If you have more on your side they will comply. A tea party on steroids would be the closest image in my mind.
