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 have seen first hand the kind of things the religious right object
to so vehemently. I have seen MANY pride events that are so
over-the-top, blatantly flamboyant and NOT appropriate for consumption
by the general public. THOSE (unfortunately) are the images and the
impressions that get distributed and get stuck in people's minds.
Whether it is an accurate reflection of the community as a whole or
not.

If you want to peacefully protest a ruling or legislature that strikes
LGBT protection or minimizes someone's basic human rights, then I'm
all for it. But you don't need to be a 6' tall man dressed in a
feather head dress and gold sequined bikini with your hands down the
pants of some leather clad "bear." No one wants to see that and it
has NOTHING to do with equality.

There are just enough people in the LGBT community who feel perfectly
justified in pushing the envelope for their own personal reasons that
they cause others around them to be uncomfortable. What you do in the
privacy of your own home is your business. No one wants to see it out
in the street.

Maybe they think they are making a point, maybe they're just classless
tools trying to be offensive for the sake of being offensive.
Regardless, they make the rest of the decent, upstanding community
look bad and help perpetuate the stereotypes.
