Now on the Hallmark aisle: Gay marriage cards
Yahoo! News ^

PORTLAND, Ore. - Most states don't recognize gay marriage — but now Hallmark does. ADVERTISEMENT The nation's largest greeting card company is rolling out same-sex wedding cards — featuring two tuxedos, overlapping hearts or intertwined flowers, with best wishes inside. "Two hearts. One promise," one says. Hallmark added the cards after California joined Massachusetts as the only U.S. states with legal gay marriage.

FYI, please keep in mind that the BSA, boy scouts of america has stood by their beliefs on gays and has had a heck of a lot of funding pulled from everywhere.

I work at the local boyscout office and our donations have fallen off dramatically.

Please guy, help out the Boy Scouts, one of the last institutions that have the spine to stand up for marriage and non gayness.

agreed and the boy scouts is a fine place for boys to go and learn

the tornado they had up north proved that.

I have donated to my local one but not for some time, so thank you for reminding me on this I will be donating again

For those who may not know, there are some good Christian card publishers out there, you just have to look a bit.

I stopped buying Hallmark cards years ago (geez, I sound so old when I say that :D ). The reason is that that 99.9% of their cards are overpriced, idiotic crap. The lovey-dovey cards with their sickeningly saccharine poems and notes are the worst. Anybody who would swoon over one of those cards shouldn't be allowed to vote, IMHO.

American Greetings has much better cards. Target also has an excellent selection of cards from many different publishers in their stores.

You know what’s interesting is that Hallmark is based in Kansas City, Missouri and in Missouri, there is a voter-approved constitutional ban on gay marriage.

And I don't expect that they'll sell many here. But what they're doing isn't illegal. They're just seeing a business need and filling it.

To treat a person as God’s creature ...

Even if you don't really mean it?

I wrote to Hallmark. If they are going to take the side of immorality in the culture war, then I will no longer do business with them. My son owns a local store and will be switching out his supply to another vendor. These types of companies need to know that our kids and our values are important to us. They cannot afford to play games like this.

I stopped buying “Hallmark” (and other) cards a long time ago.

I just figure there are more effective ways of communicating than a $4 piece of cardboard.

Hallmark is symptomatic of the superficial consumerist humanoid ant farm, whose members have been conditioned to believe they need the collectivist/corporatist stamp approval on every idea and emotion.

I with you 100%, up until the polite part.

Reminds me of Ann Coulter's attitude toward liberals which she calls "tough love"; meaning, as with their "middle-class tax cuts", everything but the last word.

We had an ex-gay guy in our Bible study. He said that every day, EVERY gay guy knows in his heart that it is morally wrong.

I think that is actually part of the draw. It feels good to do something wrong. You get a rush.

The main problem with homosexual normalization and other things like radical feminism and leftist ideologues is that since we have thrown away truth and cultural norms, we have accepted psychoses as normal instead of helping those within it and the more susceptible to stay away.

It is sad that a KC based company has resorted to this. They are going to have a lot of peeved off people in this area and I am one of them.
