Wal-Mart Contributes 5% Of Online Sales To Homosexual Group

Sign the pledge not to shop at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club on the Friday and Saturday following Thankgiving

Help recruit 1,000,000 to agree to not shop at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club (owned by Wal-Mart) on the Friday and Saturday following Thanksgiving. Here's why:

In a show of support to help homosexuals legalize same-sex marriage, Wal-Mart has agreed to automatically donate 5% of online sales directly to the Washington DC Community Center for Gay, Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender People. The cash donation will come from ALL online purchases made at Wal-Mart through the homosexual group's Web site. This move follows Wal-Mart's joining the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and agreeing to give generous financial help to that group.

Every purchase made online for books, music, videos, clothing and accessories, children's clothing and toys, and electronics at the site will automatically send 5% of the sales to the homosexual group.

With this agreement, Wal-Mart made clear their support for the homosexual movement was a total commitment to the cause.

Many observers feel it would have been a wise business decision for Wal-Mart to remain neutral in the cultural battle over homosexual marriage. But this was an ideological decision by Wal-Mart, not a business decision. Wal-Mart decided to give the promotion of homosexual marriage their full support.

I used to be on their distribution until a month or two ago, and much of their email went unread due to time constraints. There's the AFA, the FRC, Focus, Mass Resistance, etc.It's too bad I have to work for a living...

[little jeremiah]

Work??

Oh yes, work!

;-)

[AtomicBuffaloWings]

This is so embarrassing. I can't believe the AFA is getting all bent out of shape over an affiliate program.

These are the same freaks that had a fit and nearly fainted because CBS did not edit out curse words from the documentary "9/11"; spoken as people watched planes crash into the Towers and people jumping to their death trying to escape.

Gays will get more money because of the AFA now and this will not effect Walmart until social conservative set up their own shops.

For some reason that reminds me of The Simpsons episode where Ned Flanders opens up a store selling scissors and other items specially designed for left handed people.

[TexasNative2000]

Or you could not buy things through the homosexual group's Web site?

Now, now, now. . . . please do not spoil this thread by getting past the misleading headline and actually reading the text.

Facts are notoriously stubborn things, aren't they?

[AtomicBuffaloWings]

What matters to you, is keeping those prices low so you can do your 'holiday' shopping at Wal-Mart.

As long as gays aren't going at it in the ailes (or other parts of the store) I could care less. Our local Wal-Mart in town just closed.
Because a brand new Super Wal-Mart just opened about 10 minutes from where I live. :)

Thanks for your support!

And I'm sure the unions thank you for yours!

[loboinok]

these people are liars, as you read farther down, you will see the 5% comes only from sales at the homosexual web site it self.

And the "lie" is where?

[loboinok]

Frankly, I'm sick of the homosexual agenda being shoved in my face constantly. And I'm equally disgusted with the anti-homosexual agenda too.

There are quite a few "middle-of-the-road" politicians, fix'in to enjoy an extended vacation. They didn't learn soon enough that the only thing in the middle of the road is, yellow lines and roadkill.

[loboinok]

*GASP* Wal-Mart supports an affliate program that will kick back 5% to a website that sends them business.

When Wal-Mart announced their support for the homosexual agenda a few weeks ago, they meant what they said. You will remember that Wal-Mart asked for, and received, permission to join the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC). The company announced they were giving two large grants to NGLCC. The world's largest retailer was rewarded with a position on the board of NGLCC. Wal-Mart also announced they would give preference to homosexual-owned businesses in purchasing products.

Justin Nelson, president of NGLCC, said he expects Wal-Mart to use its influence to pressure suppliers like P&G, Johnson & Johnson, and Gillette to give homosexual businesses preferential treatment. Wal-Mart is also working on a plan to provide domestic-partnership benefits to homsexual employee "partners." The NGLCC is a leading promoter of homosexual marriage.

A quick search for books sold by Wal-Mart found the following related to the promotion of homosexual marriage:

* What God Has Joined Together: The Christian Case for Gay Marriage * Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gay, Good for Straights, and Good for America * Legalizing Gay Marriage * Why You Should Give a -amn about Gay Marriage * Civil Wars: A Battle for Gay Marriage * Gay Marriage and Democracy: Equality for All * Defending Same-Sex Marriage * Why Marriage Matters: America, Equality, and Gay People's Right to Marry * Gay Marriage, Real Life: Ten Stories of Love and Family

A quick search of Wal-Mart's website turned up the following number of items for sale:

Gay - 1148 Lesbian - 468 Transgender - 40 Bisexual - 38 Gay Marriage - 26

[loboinok]

Then going with your premise, why is AFA ONLY going after WalMart. Why are they not going after the Affilate Network. WalMart isn't the only retailer in that network, it only 1 of 1,000s and I am pretty sure WM is notthe only one with the affiliate link on a pro-homosexual website.

If AFA was so serious in its fight against the "homosexual agenda" they would not just be targetting WalMart with thes type press releases.

They are doing the same with Ford. They don't have the resources to oppose every single company. They pick the biggest, most vocal and active in their support of the homosexual agenda and if they do enough damage... hope the others see what could happen to them.

Bush did the same thing. There was no way we could attack Iran, Iraq, Syria, NK and the rest, all at the same time. Libya gave it up when it became apparent what the consequences could be.

I don't buy that. They have the resources to send out press releases on WalMrt, why not list the rest of the companies with similar affiliate programs this particlar group participates in. It was very simple to find the list:

Walmart hasn't learn not to feed the sharks yet.

[esquirette]

Walmart joined the gay and lesbian chamber of commerce on August 21, 2006. It is on their web site. This must be part of their pledge to help in the 'cause.'

[esquirette]

Excellent observation. We have not been to Walmart since Aug. 21 when they joined the GL community. It has actually saved us a lot of money due to lack of impulse buying, even though things might be more expensive at the family oriented Publix.

[esquirette]

Plus, the middle of the road keeps sliding to the left.

And I will now say that AFA at least takes a stand against what they don't like.

At least half of people here gripe about anyone that "attacks" Wal-Mart (or just about any business), but this is not your usual liberal rant about WM not being communist enough.

I myself don't quite mind about this. I look at the overall picture, just like politics. Not every place is perfect, just like not every politician is perfect. But if overall they're OK, I'll support them - or not, as I'm just plain not a Wal-Mart kind of person. Although I do go when I need to.

I am a member of AFA. Sometimes they seem a little extreme, but really, it's great that they are a clearing house for problems in workplaces and gov and entertainment. You'll find out things you never knew (and yes, they're true). E.g., I found out long before pretty much anyone else that the real symbol of gay solidarity is an upside-down pink triangle on purple - and lo and behold, I start seeing it on cars, subtle as if it was a special parking permit.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Believe me, they do not support unions.

[linda_22003]

This is the same Fine Organization that got its panties in a knot about "profanity" on television - meaning, bad words in a documentary about 9/11, where firefighters were reacting to events as they happened. The AFA is nuts.

[the OlLine Rebel]

I have to ask: is there a "National Black Chamber of Commerce"?

I don't understand why all these business and legal groups exist for homos.

[the OlLine Rebel]

And to use an extreme example to get you to think, would you be fine Wal-Mart (or anyone) tacitly approving of terrorism by allowing 5% commission through the International Jihadi website?

You have to remember Wal-Mart is essentially losing 5% on every sale the Homo Site makes - so they are indeed making a contribution.

[the OlLine Rebel]

They target lots of things. This is just something apparently they only just found out about. They make an article for about everything they find, as they find it. Not just wholesale articles about all the offenders.
