Home Depot Tells AFA to Shove It

The registered hate group, American Family Association ("AFA") has launched another one of its boycotts - which are really aimed at getting the organization's name in the press and at shaking down the ignorant and uninformed - this time taking on Home Depot for it's gay friendly policies. In AFA's view any corporation that recognizes the LGBT community as a significant market segment and adopts policies of acceptance and diversity is open game for AFA's never ending message of hatred. Thankfully, as Right Wing Watch is reporting, Home Depot has apparently told AFA it can take its boycott and put it where the sun doesn't shine. Here are some highlights from Right Wing Watch (NOTE: The Christian Taliban state that "those who are caught in this trap of homosexuality are in the clasp of Satan"):
*
[T]he American Family Association has been running a boycott against Home Depot because the company "has chosen to sponsor and participate in numerous gay pride parades and festivals."
*
Today, the AFA's Executive Vice President, Buddy Smith, traveled to a Home Deport board meeting to present the company with a petition bearing nearly a half-million names of those who have vowed to stop shopping at Home Deport stores until the company decides to "remain neutral in the culture war."
*
But according to this update Smith gave to Bryan Fischer today, it sounds like the Home Depot Chairman Frank Blake basically told the AFA to take a hike and reiterated their commitment to promoting diversity. Smith was especially troubled by this stance because, as everyone knows, "those who are caught in this trap of homosexuality are in the clasp of Satan"
*
I'd say that if anyone is in the clasp of Satan, it's the folks at AFA who have turned Christianity into something foul and hated based.

Thanks for this post, it comes at the perfect time as we are going to be purchasing several thousand dollars of items to finish our house. I would much rather give it to a friendly company than a foe.
