Maybe they learned a math lesson ... queers 3% is a minor part of the overall market ... 97% is bigger than 3%.

After a series of radical decisions, the retailer is struggling to survive a 25 percent drop in sales.

Too bad the feral government can't suffer a 25% drop in revenues as a warning. We should never have let it abandon the gold standard.

Gold standard has nothing to do with it.

Gold standard wouldn’t keep politicians from pandering to the gays.

Gold standard wouldn’t stop congress from borrowing. They’d just promise that your children would repay in gold instead.

I keep wondering why a business establishment would support any cause...except for the cause of maximizing profit to their investors by providing desirable products at reasonable prices?

When a company tries tricks such as this - even tricks which I might not disagree with - it shows me that their so-called “executives” do not have their eyes on the company direction.

I keep thinking of Bill Gates, who’s shoddy (and sh**ty) products caused far more monetary damage to his unfortunate customers than has his so-call “charities” which amount to pretty much nothing.

Gee....maybe everyone doesn’t agree with this perversion...despite what the media aka Dem bootlickers, say.

What is this “natural marriage” they mention? Is that a new euphemism for “perverted homosexual unions”?

Same here. I’ll vote with my wallet and shop at stores that don’t insult my values.

I’ve learned that Bill Gates does for Bill Gates.

His pockets are being lined by his charities, somehow.

An I have personally known him since DOS came out.

Bill is in it for Bill.

Myron Ulman isn’t going to change anything, he supported Johnson didn’t he?

J.C. Penney has been a Texas-based corporation for several decades now. It’s long overdue for them to adhere to Texas values (pro-God, pro-life, pro-gun and pro-military) in their marketing message. Better yet would be to add a sporting goods department with an outstanding selection of guns. With Americans increasingly on the alert due to government tyranny, JCP can regain much goodwill by stocking arms to demonstrate a commitment to freedom and liberty.

I think they were gearing toward some new customer group and figured that families would just overlook the ad campaign. What Pennys needed to say was that it was the place that had a better choice of clothing than Wal-Mart or K-Mart or even Target. Your lifestyle didn’t matter....your attention to look good was what mattered. They obviously hired some losers for changing their direction. I think the losers had the idea of bringing the company down....and perhaps even triggering a bankruptcy in the end.

I think they need to swing back the other way instead of being “neutral”. They need to show support for traditional marraige. They need to show the 97% that they have really changed.

Attempting to base your business model on appealing to 2% of the population while at the same time pissing off about 30% of the population - just aint smart.

“Natural marriage” refers to traditional marriage.

I never did shop there much. I’ve never been a Pennys or Macys kind of shopper though I do prefer Macys. The big pro gay push made it even less likely I ever would be.

JC Penney who? Absence makes the heart grow fonder . . . fonder for somebody else.

Put your hand in a bucket of water. . .pull it out. . and the hole that remains is how much you are missed. (I probably messed that saying but you catch my drift)
