Asking why the AFA is just finding out about it, at least to me, seems like a non issue. As do all organizations, they only have so many resources available to them.
As I see it, the AFA is an organization with limited resources and they have provided information that Walmart is providing funds to the Washington DC Community Center for Gay, Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender organization.
This is an organization that supports lifestyles social conservatives and Christians should oppose at every level.
You are taking my comments out of context. I have far less resources than AFa has and I knew about these affiliate programs 7 years ago. It also took me about 7 seconds to discover the name of the Affiliate program network, as well as the other companies with affiliate programs this gay group has signed up with.
I'm a stay-at-home mom, and I can find all this out, yet an organization such as AFA with the financial resources to put out such press releases does not have the resources to find out what I did in less than 10 minutes????
I'm actually finding all of this amusing now. The more defensive folks are getting about the limited resources of the AFA the more I'm comparing them to the charlatans of the anti-smoker crusade.
BTW, the affiliate network is Link Share, and from my reading of its enrollment guidelines, AFA would not qualify as it fails to meet certain guidlines for suitability, particularly in the categories of disrimination and disparaging of other participants. There may even be other disqualifiers, but I caught those on a quick perusal.
As I have stated on these threads, AFA would do more to promote family values by encouraging those who support them to be less materialistic and more family oriented.
