Boycotting Home Depot!

I don't know how I missed this letter back in November, it's right up
my alley! When I did the March on the Capital for gay rights in early
2000, there was a group of lesbians wearing home depot shirts... only
they said "homo depot"! Ha!

Great letter, and I agree with you 100%.

Remember, folks: In most states, it's completely legal to fire or
evict someone simply because they are GLBT. One of the very sad
things about this country.

Gotta love how many people read the first sentence and couldn't hit
the "Reply" button fast enough :P

I was about to go to Lowe's but I will now go directly to Home Depot.
What exactly is the gay agenda? I bet you don't know but I bet you
co-authored the idiot agenda

Your association is a considered a hate group. Grow up, step out of
the sandbox, and you might see there's a whole world out there!

What exactly is the homosexual agenda? One of my best friends is a
lesbian and she couldn't tell me what it was when I asked her.

I normally shop a lowes, However after hearing about this I'll be
going to home depot! and I'm going to boycott the American Family
Association. :-)

Thank you for your letter. As a response I will now double my shopping
at Home Depot to help make up for your hatred that would make Jesus
weep. He would wonder why you were unable to understand his lessons of
love, understanding, acceptance, and forgiveness to all, and chose
instead to spread hate. Merry Christmas!

more hatred and misguided discrimination during the holidays!

I'm sure Jesus would be REALLY proud!

And just what is this evil, nefarious plot you refer to as the
homosexual agenda?

Oh, I think I know!

Their "agenda" is to be able to quietly and peacefully live their
lives with out the threat of being assaulted or otherwise mistreated
because of whom they fall in love with and to be treated fairly under
the law.

How can any decent human being find fault with that?

i mean i'll be honest i'm not in to the gay pride movement

but... i am entirely against hatred and cruelty and the concept of
abusing someone for being different. to me that's the kind of crap
babies pull in grade school. there's no place in a mature society for
justifying abusive behavior.


and i specifically believe firing should only be based on work
performance.


the only time i think behavior outside of work should affect
employment is if the employee is specifically breaking laws. and by
laws i mean things like murder, rape, drug abuse, drug dealing,
spouse/partner abuse.

or if they're specifically breaking company polices such as breaking
confidentiality agreements, or sharing company secrets etc.


also as a side note... i didn't know this but...
apparently it's illegal to fire someone over facebook posts now.

which means if you post about your sexual preference on facebook and
they fire you for it... you might have a chance in court.

...drug use.

What people put into their bodies on their own time is their own
business.

As long as they don't drive a car, or operate heavy machinery, they
should be able to do whatever drug they wish to do as they are only
hurting themselves.

Companies really have NO RIGHT, despite what the courts may say, to
drug test employees or to try to control what their people do away
from the worksite.
