Penney’s is doomed anyway. Many years ago they made all their signs in Spanish (even in Indiana...) and did other changes to make themselves the KMart of mall department stores. The whole gay rights thing was when a lot of people rememembered there was a JC Penney and vowed not to shop there ever again, but in reality almost none of them had been shopping there anyway.
