I avoid Home Depot.

Maybe the Sodomites will rush to Home Despot’s aid and support...

At issue in the Home Depot case are GSA "schedule" contracts. Those contracts authorize any government agency to purchase tens of thousands of products from the company's website

Maybe I misunderstand, but why is it Home Depot's responsibility to prevent government employees from violating the law?

Shouldn't the government employees doing the purchasing be responsible for determining that the products they order comply with regulations?

I was in a Homo Depot this weekend but only because I needed to use their restroom, I shop at Lowes. On my way towards the restroom I passed the employee breakroom. On the wall outside the breakroom was a large sign that said “Celebrate Diversity.” A gay pride display was below the sign followed by black history and on the very bottom a small sign about Flag Day.

They got my piss but not my money.

Stupids at Home Depot probably also drink Budweiser, Starbucks and shop at Walmart too.

There is not enough detail in the article to know the facts of the case. Saying the agencies bought through the website doesn’t divulge whether there were special accounts or logins or other means of tracking these orders. If Home Depot knew it had to comply but did not take any measures to handle these government orders then they are morons. Any business doing business with the Feds know there are a morass of regulations and they cannot be handled like other sales or regular clients. that’s just a no brainer. I will also add that all the big box stores want to buy from overseas(usually China) from the get-go. The way many companies are about buying American is disgusting.
