Gold's Gym Faces Backlash After CEO Gives to GOP Group

[Beaten Valve]

The wrath of the sexual deviants on display again...

[Frantzie]

“Gold’s Gym San Francisco has long been a pillar of the gay community.”

Yeah they are a real pillar in the community. What a joke.

[ntmxx]

Homo-Leninists stock-in-trade:…Intolerance

[Freddd]

said the donations betrayed Gold’s strong ties to the gay community;

Guess they haven’t heard of GOProud?

[sappy]

How tolerant of them to not tolerate ‘choice’.

[earlJam]

For perspective, this story is about FOUR franchisees who have a problem with the donations.

Gold’s Gym has 700 franchises in 30 countries.

The loss of four is not going to hurt them.

And if there were four Christian franchisees who decided to leave for political reasons, you would not even hear about it in the paper.

[Da Coyote]

Guess that means that one can now safely bend over in the shower at Gold’s Gym.

Baddah-boom, baddah bing!!

[Dilbert San Diego]

And what about Log Cabin Republicans?

Not all gays are fixated on the liberal issues being pushed by the activists. Liberal activists can’t get their minds around the concept, but, some members of allegedly aggrieved minority groups actually support GOP principles such as cutting taxes and limits on government spending.

[Tribemike1]

Just like the queers boycotted Target Stores? Why would 1% of the population intimidate any business...unless it was ...never mind, they don’t use protection either (ugh)

[OriginalIntent]

But the social libs and moral relativists swore the homosexual community only wanted to be left alone in their privacy...they were only interested in free speech and all...they were not trying to push and close the loop on some kind of new immoral agenda, no, it was all about privacy, and they would never be intolerant once they were out of the closet.

Uh huh. The old right wing social conservatives were right on the money, proven time after time, they always get it right.

[republicangel]

Oh no you would hear about it, as in “how intolerant of those Christians”.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

“Gold’s Gym San Francisco has long been a pillar of the gay community”.....

Gaak!....I’ll bet!

[Keith in Iowa]

>>>>Guess that means that one can now safely bend over in the shower at Gold’s Gym.

Not in SanFran.

[stocksthatgoup]

This is a good example why many who donate do NOT want to be identified.

[jacknhoo]

Gold’s should open up “don’t ask - don’t tell” gyms next door...LOL!

[Vision]

These people are anything but gay. They are homosexual and need to be referred to as such.

Fred Astaire was gay.

[DManA]

Blue and red just can’t stand each other. I think we should split up the country between us and go our separate ways.

[Moby Grape]

Don’t worry Gold’s....the only exercise liberals get is drinking coffee at Starbucks.

[frankenMonkey]

"...parent company's owner made a large, private donation..."

I guess somebody made it not so private.
Inquirying minds want to know who.

[ApplegateRanch]

an online petition, which now has more than 4,000 signatures, calling on Gold's to stop its corporate executives from "taking money from customers and spending it in order to elect anti-gay politicians."

So, the execs are mugging customers in the locker rooms, or embezzeling corporate funds, then donating the stolen money? Don't sign a petition; call the cops!

Or are the execs using thier own money, that they earned, to donate to groups of their choice? So shut up, already, and MYOB.
