No JC Penney's. No Macy's. No Starbucks. Oh my, what's a poor bigot to do.

As far as clothing stores go, were there any offerings that weren't designed by homosexual demons there anyway? I think these people need to return to old-fashioned spinning, weaving, and sewing if they want to avoid contamination by the gay.

And Starbucks: Do they really think that barrista with the nosering or the goth making the espressos ever cared about their "family values?"

I always find it funny that these gruops always focus on Gay issues. But, never pay attenion to all the other things the Bible says that they should not be doing but they still do. It must be to distact others from seeing what kind of liars they really are. Sad!Sad! Sad!

Looks like all they have left is the Goodwill Thrift Store, and, from what I understand, that's where Macy's, JC Penney's and other top-name brands all go when the celebrants of diversity are done with their clothes. Looks like the AFA will be walkin''round nekkid once their clothes wear out! Some things are better left unseen!

Goodwill is gay friendly. It looks like they'll have to stick with the Salvation Army.

uuuhhhmmm Do they know that about half the men that work in Macy's stores are probably gay.. Oh and so are the designer labels in the stores too.

I like how they're supposed to be so "family oriented" but I don't see them telling everyone to boycott stores that are opened on Thanksgiving Day (a BIG, FAMILY holiday)or to boycott Wal-Mart when they were announcing that they were going to open stores on Christmas Day. I didn't hear them get into an uproar over that..
Only the gays can make them mad. And I guess it's because they have nothing else better to do, then to stick their noses into our lives.. Maybe they should get a life of their own instead of trying to live mine for me..

Internet, telecommunications, and computer companies are gay friendly also. Too bad they won't stick to their guns and boycott those things.

Last I heard, Walmart is OPEN on Sunday..the blessed sabbath. I guess those slobs who spent all morning in church need somewhere to recreate after all that prayin'. Hypocrites. All of them.

Thank you American Family Association, Concerned Women, etal for bringing this issue to light. I now know that Macy's is a supporter of my rights and deserves my dollar.

These sorts of people can make school uniforms and housecoats out of bark, leaves and the string that binds those advertising circular piles.

They're handy that way.

Fat chance on that..PUN INTENDED. Every time they show footage of Teabaggers, they need wide angle lens to get their huge bulk on camera. The only walking these people do is into Hometown Buffet, and waddle out again, between stops in and out of church.

I actually live only a couple of blocks from the big (and I mean HUGE) Goodwill store here in SF. You're right, they are always very friendly and have a lot of gay customers.

By the same token, the people who work at the (equally HUGE) Salvation Army are also always friendly and polite.

I admire anyone who is trying to make their lives better and both of these places score high marks in that regard.

Have you ever noticed that Tea Party types don't generally go around calling people silly names?

I hate to shock you be agreeing, but you're absolutely right about both organization. Salvation Army is not exactly my style, but they walk their talk and help anybody. Difficult to not put something in the red kettle at christmas.

If these fundamentally ignorant Christian bigots weren't such hyper-hypocrites, they would have to boycott everything made, produced and sold by almost every company listed on the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq.

Of course they won't because they are nothing but demoguageic charlatans out divorcing their wives, sexualy abusing their kids, racking up riches anywhere but in heaven and spewing out hate and judgemental intolerance, all in direct opposition to their holy book of enchantment and feebles.

A major fail in the journalism department, not that "Edge" is going to win a Pulitzer any time soon. Who, what, where, when, how, and why... they forgot the "Who, what, and where" and maybe even "when".

Who the leader of the organization?("The group says" is not good enough.)

What is the name of the organization?(Has "ties to the American Family Association" is not good enough.)

Where are they located?(Another story about something that happened in Dallas is not good enough.)

When did this happen? There's a dateline on the story, but I don't trust them at this point; this could be old news from months or years ago.

I have noticed the opposite. And I have noticed their silly powdered wigs and pirate costumes, i.e., Founders.

Now shut up, you gasbag.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Sagittarius

You're feeling ultra optimistic today, which is great for summoning up the necessary energy to do what has to be done. But don't let it go to your head and convince you that you're capable of performing miracles. If you aren't behaving in this way you'll have to cope with someone who has a swollen head and thinks they're the cat's whiskers.
