Hate - A "Christian" Holiday Value

While most of the world remains focused on the hate and intolerance embodied by ISIS, here at home our domestic religious extremists are having a meltdown over the fact that fewer retailers are willing to engage in the hate and discrimination that are part and parcel with today"s "godly Christians" who are only happy when persecuting and making life Hell for others.  One such whining hate merchant is Linda Harvey, a self-anointed faux expert who pontificates on matters about which she has no  credentials.  Harvey has no legitimate employment and makes her living leading a "ministry" that does little other than condemn others and sow hate and discord and advocate for a Christian theocracy.  In a rant at World Net Daily, a/k/a Wing Nut Daily on this blog, provides a list of retailers who deserve our support this holiday shopping season.  Here are excerpts:
I stopped shopping at Macy’s in 2011 after learning about the retailer’s grossly unjust policy against women. Macy’s management said “yes” to a transsexual young man’s demand to change in the women’s dressing room and rejected a Christian employee’s attempt to block his inappropriate access, even firing her because of her principled actions. And Macy’s star balloons are now a regular feature of most “gay pride” parades.

Then there’s Target. Where to start? Selling “gay pride” T-shirts a few years back was bad enough, but Target is now “proudly standing” with homosexuals and cross-dressers who want to change America’s 1964 Civil Rights Act to add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” through what pro-family colleague Peter LaBarbera is calling the “Criminalizing Christianity Act.”
Joining Target in supporting this anti-American, pro-deviance legislation are Amazon, General Mills, Google, Facebook, Paypal, Levi-Strauss and others. Which brings us to another recent traitor, Wal-Mart. This one-time reliable backer of Judeo-Christian standards has gone to the dark side in a big way. Wal-Mart put pressure on the governors of Arkansas and Indiana to oppose religious freedom bills. Why would Wal-Mart side with sexual anarchists against the First Amendment liberties of all Americans to oppose homosexual behavior?
But their unfaithfulness doesn’t end there. Wal-Mart is now a financial backer of deviant “gay pride” parades. What happened to this company? Do not shop there, people!

If you’re thinking toys, avoid Mattel. They just created “Moschino Barbie” with an ad featuring a tragically feminized little boy who plays with Barbies, a wicked accommodation to the current gender-destructive culture.

And don’t get me started on the many in-your-face insults of JC Penney, like ads featuring homosexuals, even on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, and choosing as a national spokesperson lesbian Ellen DeGeneres. Did they plan to be so purposely offensive? Seems to be the case.

One has to wonder how someone becomes as seemingly mentally imbalanced and obsessed as Harvey.  One of my guides is to shop at the retailers Harvey condemns and boycott any retailer that Harvey supports.  If you decide to boycott a retailer or support a retailer as the case may be, please take the time to tell them why they have lost your business or gained it as applicable.  Here's a more complete list of retailers Harvey condemns:
Best Buy, Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle Outfitters, Barnes & Noble, CVS, Dell, DIRECTV, E-Bay, Ford Motor Co., The Gap (includes Old Navy and Banana Republic), General Motors, Hallmark, Home Depot, IKEA, JC Penney, Levi-Strauss & Co., Macy’s, Mattel, Nationwide, Nike, Nissan, Nordstrom, Office Depot, Staples, Starbuck’s, Target, TJX Companies ( owns TJ Maxx and Marshall’s), Volkswagen and Walgreen’s.

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.

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!
