Sometimes You Love Your Spam Box

From: PZB

Thank you for alerting me to Home Depot's admirable policies and respect for other people. I'll be sure to shop there more often than I already do, and I spent $500 there last week. I'll also post this information on my blog, which has several thousand readers. You've just gained Home Depot a great deal of business.

Very sincerely yours,

P.Z. Brite

AFA makes it official: Don't shop at The Home Depot

Sign the Boycott Pledge at BoycottTheHomeDepot.com now!

July 23, 2010


Dear Poppy,

For several years, The Home Depot has given its financial and corporate support to open displays of homosexual activism on main streets in America's towns. And, it says it will continue to do so!
"At the end of the day here, we're not going to...forbid our associates to be involved in these pride festivals in any way." - Stephen Holmes, company spokesman. (Note: The associates participating in these parades were clearly doing so as representatives of the company.)
Rejecting several requests by AFA to remain neutral in the culture war, The Home Depot has chosen to sponsor and participate in numerous gay pride parades and festivals. Most grievous is The Home Depot's deliberately exposing small children to lascivious displays of sexual conduct by homosexuals and cross-dressers, which are a common occurrence at these events.
The goal of every homosexual organization supported by The Home Depot is to get homosexual marriage legalized. BoycottTheHomeDepot provides just a glimpse of how broad its support for the homosexual movement is. The Home Depot says it is committed to furthering the homosexual agenda.
"The bottom line is, it (remaining neutral) just runs counter to our inclusive culture...and that's where we stand." - Stephen Holmes, company spokesman.
See it for yourself. Photos at BoycottTheHomeDepot.com, taken during recent homosexual events sponsored by The Home Depot, show:
Children being encouraged to visit gay sex websites.
Employees using company property to push gay marriage.
The Home Depot employees riding and marching in homosexual parades.
TAKE ACTION
1. Sign the Boycott Pledge at BoycottTheHomeDepot.com.
2. Call your local store manager. Let him know that you will not be shopping in his store until the company stops supporting the homosexual agenda. You can find his number here. (click "Store Finder").
3. Print the paper petition and distribute it at Sunday School and church.
4. Extremely important! Post this alert to your facebook page (link above) and encourage others to join the boycott!
It is very important that you forward this alert to your friends and family members.

Sincerely,

Tim Wildmon, President
American Family Association

Thank you for alerting me to this! Another reason to spend my money at Home Depot!

This makes me wish I was doing some kind of home upkeep so I had an excuse to buy stuff there.

Hell
I'm just going to pick up a tape measure and some roofing cement for the sake of it.
And plus, roofing cement makes great binder for "GOD HATES SENTRIES" anti-protest signs.

Children being encouraged to visit gay sex websites.

I think all previous reports of spontaneous human combustion in history have been because someone told a huge-ass preposterous lie like this and then God blew them up.

Just my theory.

(yay Home Depot!)

In light of this unexpected display of corporate open-mindedness, I may have to revisit my anti-Home Depot stance...

Looks like I can no longer put off all the home projects I've been avoiding. Home Depot, here I come! $$$

(Thanks to @neilhimself for spreading the word about this.)

I must admit to keeping an eye on them for organisations I like the sound of:-)

Ideally we'd organise a Christian Pride block-booking of Tim W's "trip to the holy land".

I hate Home Depot. Never enough help on the floor and the lack of open registers is disappointing (and using the self check out with a bag of cement blows)... But between the info you brought to light and the fact that my local store takes florescent bulbs and tubes back for recycling free will makes sure they get some of my business.

You are my hero. I will be going to Home Depot tomorrow, and now I will be sure to hold my head high, and maybe even buy something extra. Oh, I do need a new screwdriver...

Lowes is closer to me, but I may have to take the extra time to go to Home Depot after this.

Fantastic! >:) I wish we had Home Depot here, I'd certainly shop there if we did.

May I c&p to my blog for the benefit of my US-based flist-members?

I'm feeling the urge to buy some power tools or something. I don't even know what Home Depot sells that I would actually want/use, but it is clearly time to buy their stuff.

I think they have patio furniture and associated cushions in any imaginable pattern! and both fake and real plants! Perfect for throwing together a padded den of iniquity~! :D

A friend of mine signed up with the name "Manmeat" just to see if AFA is monitoring their list at all.

He's gotten "Dear Manmeat" emails for about five years now. Yes, we are all secretly 12.

One wonders what percentage of their list is people with the same views and what percentage joined the list to find out who to support becasue the wingnuts are outraged at them.

AFA are the same people who told blatant lies in the nineties to try to stop Marilyn Manson. Even if I shared their views, I wouldn't ever help them financially.

I already shop there all the time but I didn't realize they are AWESOME. Thanks for the tip!

I have never noticed, in the store, the computers they use to teach kids how to surf for gay porn (straight porn would be ok presumably), so I guess they must have a mobile float in the pride parade for that.

Thanks for posting this. We are fixing up the house quite a bit and I've been buying everything at Lowe's. Unless they have a similar policy, I will definitely switch to Home Depot.
Oh, and I just *love* the final statement of the AFA letter - "Help us Financially." Yeah bubba, that's gonna happen.
