We shouldn't fault gay people for wanting "everyday low prices". What's wrong with Wal-mart courting their business?

I don't get it, either. The AFA might be dumbfounded if they should discover there may be more gays than conservatives, who knows? As long as I don't have to know fellow shoppers' sexual preferences, I'm fine with it.

But when gays scream, "we just want to be treated as normal," it tells me they know they aren't.

It's one thing for Walmart to "court" business. But I can't buy stuff online from Walmart, knowing that 5% of what I pay them is being sent to a group advocating things I think will harm society.

I don't care if Walmart offers benefits to same-sex partners, or if it encourages gays to shop there. I draw the line at spending money that will go to my enemies directly.

Target lets me use a card which sends X% of my purchase to my kid's schools. That's a good place for the money to do, not to a gay advocacy group.

The question is, why is Walmart specifically doing a "donation drive" for gays? Do they think people will spend more money at their web site knowing their money is going to a political organization pushing the gay agenda?

I agree, as long as Wal-Mart doesn't run a petroleum jelly promo, I'm fine.

Wal-Mart is doing more than courting business. It is promoting same sex marriage.
