Where to Shop: A List of Companies "Too Gay Friendly" for Christofascists

As always, the Christofascists are incessantly seeking to force their hate/fear based religious beliefs on all Americans.  This year, for those who have not completed their holiday shopping, "The Faith Driven Consumer 2013 Christmas Guide," produced by a group called the Faith Driven Consumer ("FDC") may provide a good list of where to shop.  Shop at any of the stores condemned as too gay friendly.  There are lots of options because retailers - surprise, surprise - are out to sell goods and products and, therefore, except for certain companies under Christofascist ownership, tend to want to market to all Americans.  Gay Star News looks at the list.  Here are article excerpts:

American Express, Adidas, Microsoft and Target have all been listed as too gay-friendly for Christmas by anti-gay Christians.

They have made a list, they’ve checked it twice, they’ve decided who is naughty and nice.

While some companies like Hallmark and Toys R Us still make it into the ‘faith-friendly’ category despite supporting LGBTI equality, others like Gap, Visa and Sears are deemed beyond the pale.

The Faith Driven Consumer 2013 Christmas Guide is produced by the Faith Driven Consumer group, based in the US.

It particularly targets companies that ‘normalize’ LGBTI people ‘in the economic arena and broader culture’ and back same-sex marriage.

It also attacks companies that support a woman’s right to have an abortion or who have ‘pornographic’ rather than ‘wholesome’ advertising. But firms win points for philanthropy, corporate responsibility and backing Christian values.

While GSN can’t confirm the accuracy of the research, the list could equally be used by LGBTI people and their friends to decide which firms should win their custom this Christmas.

Here’s FDC's list of companies condemned as too gay friendly along with some of their claims about each company:

• American Express: ‘Strong support’ for gay, bi and trans equality
• Apple: ‘Vocally supports same-sex marriage… and caved in to pressure from small groups of homosexual and transgender activists and their allies by removing previously approved, faith-based apps supporting natural and traditional sexuality’
• Barnes & Noble: ‘Strong embrace’ of LGBTI rights
• Best Buy: ‘Strong proponent of the homosexual and transgender political movement’
• Costco: ‘Nearly perfect score from the Human Rights Campaign – indicating strong corporate support for the homosexual and transgender political agenda in the workplace’
• Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic: ‘Strong support’ of LGBTI rights ‘including same-sex marriage’
• The Home Depot: ‘Stubborn and staunch support’ for LGBTI rights and allowed filming ‘for a flash mob same-sex marriage proposal at one of its stores – igniting a social media phenomenon that homosexual activists leveraged to promote same-sex marriage to young children’
• JC Penney: ‘Came out in support of same-sex marriage'
• Levi Strauss and Co: ‘Full embrace’ of LGBTI equality and same-sex marriage
• Macy’s: ‘Actively campaigns for the homosexual and transgender political agenda and has a whole section of its website devoted to gay “pride” and history’
• Microsoft: A ‘leading corporate advocate’ for LGBTI rights whose ‘top executives made six-figure contributions to the effort to redefine marriage in Washington state in 2012’
• Nike: Supports gay and trans equality and donated ‘$280,000 to the current effort in Oregon to redefine’ marriage
• Sears, Kmart, Land’s End: ‘Committed supporter’ of LGBTI issues and same-sex marriage
• Sony: ‘Strongly supports the political and social agenda of the homosexual, bisexual and transgender activist movement’
• Target: ‘Strongly supports abortion rights and the homosexual and transgender political agenda’
• TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Home Goods: ‘Not come out in support of same-sex marriage’ but gets a ‘perfect score’ from the Human Rights Campaign for LGBTI workplace inclusion
• Visa: ‘Embrace of the homosexual… agenda is a concern’

By coincidence, all of our purchases so far have been at stores condemned by the Christofascists!
