Home Depot, which has been targeted by some conservative groups for its policies affirming homosexuality, scored an 85. Its competitor, Lowe’s, made a 30.
And Lowe’s is the one going out of business. Does not seem fair to me.
Oh we have cell phones with Verizon too but that is a separate phone bill.
I can’t give up diet coke. There is no way on Earth that can happen. What exactly do they do to support gays? What? they don’t fire them if people find out? I mean unless they the commercials and advertisement supports gays I would like to know what these companies are doing. On the face of it not much because I had no Idea that Coke was “supporting” this.
we individuals can go to these places with a clear mind and heart...
we don't have to associate with anyone we don't want too...
if it gets to the point that the gays are acting publically obscene then we take our business elsewhere...
its kind of like those restaurant workers with the rings in their noses,ears, eyebrows, lips etc...once I know the personal the place hires, I don't go there....
if a restaurant gets too much gay business, I won't go there either...
My two-word response when asked (albeit infrequently) why I don't contribute a dime to the United Way.
From the article, "To get a perfect score of 100, companies had to meet six standards, including: 1) offering diversity training covering sexual orientation and gender identity, 2) having a non-discrimination policy covering sexual orientation and gender identity, 3) providing domestic partner health insurance benefits, and 4) offering at least one insurance benefit for employees wanting to change their sex. Gender identity is a category that includes cross dressers and, when fully implemented, allows for men to use women's restrooms, and vice versa."
Offering "one insurance benefit for employees wanting to change their sex" is not something I care to pay for, but what gets me is "allows for men to use women's restrooms, and vice versa". IOW, during "Take Our Children To Work Day" or in publicly available restrooms within their place of business, a man dressed as a woman would be allowed to walk into the same restroom as my daughter. I'm going to avoid supporting that with my $$$ to the best of my ability.
Finally, I found something I can agree with napscoordinator on. ;>)
I too have Verizon and without exception the products and costumer service have been absolutely outstanding. I wouldn’t use AT&T is they gave it to me for free.
Go Verizon........ but be sure you vote for Newt. ;>)
Sorry Naps, I couldn’t help myself. LOL
I want to shop there.
Ah, the suppositional if...if there were but a way to get around the if, then everything would be possible, if only...
Will is a better word, or rather the word that takes your very question and parses the appropriate and salient question: Will all the straight people stop buying their products? I doubt it.
lol. That was good.
