Gays Worse Than Nazis To Wal-Mart?

Conservative, or religious groups are ending their planned boycott of Wal-Mart. Not because Wal-Mart has pulled all the Nazi t-shirts, but because Wal-Mart will lessen it's support for gay-rights groups. After all, Wal-Mart is the favorite store of the religious right.

(AP)The corporate actions that had triggered the protest plans were little different from those taken by scores of major companies in recent years — Wal-Mart paid $25,000 this summer to become a member of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and donated $60,000 to Out and Equal, which promotes gay-rights advances in the workplace.

However, some conservative activists depicted Wal-Mart’s engagement as endorsement of same-sex marriage and a pledge to give gay-owned businesses preferential treatment — assertions Wal-Mart denied in its statement Tuesday.

Conservative leaders had viewed Wal-Mart’s actions as a betrayal of its own traditions, which have included efforts to weed out magazines with racy covers and CDs with explicit lyrics.

“This has been Christian families’ favorite store — and now they’re giving in, sliding down the slippery slope so many other corporations have gone down,” said the Rev. Flip Benham of Operation Save America. “They’re all being extorted by the radical homosexual agenda.”

Nice Christian values!
