Homosexual group calls for boycott of Wal-Mart

Gays challenge traditional marriage supporters: put up or shut up

Homosexual group calls for boycott of Wal-Mart, shopping at Target instead

If Wal-Mart sales go down, gays will claim victory in support of same-sex "marriage" benefits

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest homosexual organization, has issued a challenge to pro-traditional marriage supporters saying in essence: "Put up or shut up." They have called for a boycott of Wal-Mart while urging their supporters to buy from Target.

The reason? Wal-Mart refuses to offer "domestic benefits" (benefits given to married couples) to homosexual partners.

The homosexual organization also urged individuals to buy from Target, saying "consumers should make every effort to support" Target because Target offers "marriage" benefits to homosexual partners. (Target is the company which no longer allows the Salvation Army to solicit Christmas donations in front of their stores.)

USA Today interviewed me November 20 concerning the Wal-Mart boycott, citing--among other things--the number of HRC's "buy and don't buy guide" downloaded from the Internet and the billions of dollars the gays claim in buying power. I told Andrea Stone, the reporter who called, that AFA would promote a "buycott" of Wal-Mart and suggested that she look at Wal-Mart's sales at the end of December to see who won.

However, in her article the next day there was not a single word from her interview with me. Instead, the article was basically a "puff piece" about the homosexual boycott. Homosexuals have challenged traditional marriage supporters to do battle. We will now see if traditional marriage supporters accept the challenge.

Make every effort to shop at Wal-Mart this Christmas season. The gays want Wal-Mart sales to go down so they can claim victory.

Forward this to your friends and family and urge them to buy at Wal-Mart. Announce this in your Sunday School class, at church, etc. Ask your pastor to announce in church newsletters and bulletins that the homosexuals are challenging those who support traditional marriage. Tell them about the homosexual's efforts to force Wal-Mart to offer "marriage" benefits and Target's support for "marriage" benefits.

Sounds like a good time for Wal-Mart to run their Soap-on-a-Rope special!

I got an email from AFA this morning but already passed it on & deleted it. It came to my email address so I tend to believe its true. I will check my other email accounts & see if I have another copy for you.

You are kidding, right? You would be happy if stores would actually ban gay people from shopping there?

The few times I have been in a Wal-Mart there were dozens of kids running around screaming, uncontrolled by their parents and the stores were dirty, with sticky floors and long lines at check out.

At Target, the parents know how to control their kids, the stores are clean, the products of a higher quality and the lines are faster allowing me to get out of their quicker.

And I really do not care about the sexual orientation of the person who person who is scanning my items and taking my payment.

No, I’m not kidding. I don’t want them to be allowed to be near children either.

WalMart Ping.

I have my reasons for disliking Target — but AFA needs to get off the crapola about Target and the Salvation Army. continuing that BS only further erodes AFA’s credibility.

Shopping at Target on only mildly unpleasant while shopping at Wal-Mart is a horrific nightmare.

You've obviously never shopped in the Target in Dover, DE. Even my worst experience in any WalMart was better than my best experience in that particular store.

Sometimes, even I can’t believe some of the ignorant stuff people post about Walmart on FR ... trolls?

I don't know what it is, but I totally agree with you.

I'm a strange woman in that I don't particularly like shopping, but shopping in WalMart generally doesn't bother me. Of course because of my basic dislike of shopping I do make concious decisions of when I go........such as you wouldn't find me in ANY store today :)

Now, if there was a way to get the illegals to boycott waldo world, if you didn’t have to hold your breath to get past the smokers in front of the door and IF the was customer service I might shop there more.

I always thought Target was gay.

The only gripe I have with Walmart is all of the Chinese merchandise they carry.

I'll still do most of my Christmas shopping there, especially because of this story.

“Shopping at Target on only mildly unpleasant while shopping at Wal-Mart is a horrific nightmare.”

That comment speaks more about where you live than it does Wal-Mart as a store.

I agree with you. I don’t bash gays but I really don’t want to explain to my child why two men are making out in aisle #2 in any store. If they would not make such a display of their gayness I wouldn’t mind. I am just sick of their public displays. And I am more sick of the way they push their gay agenda in the school system. There is no reason for them to insist that 2nd graders need to be told its Ok to be Gay. Or read the King & King etc...

WOW - I want to shop in that Target because I have never been in one like that.

The few articles of clothing I ever purchased there were overpriced (I bought on sale) and fell apart after the first washing and in no way are there styles appropriate for young girls.

I don’t shop Wal-Mart much myself, but if the faggots and dykes stop going there, I might shop there more!

A bit extreme, don't you think? Scary attitude.

"Living their life" is no longer enough for the fags... They WANT YOUR CHILDREN NOW... they are indoctrinating kids everywhere (schools, Hollywood, Disneyland) everywhere. And they have been putting pressure on corporate America at least for the last 20 years...This is not new!
