American Family Asses: Home Depot Blew Us Off
AFA: Home Depot Blew Us Off

The American Family Association is whining that Home Depot executives gave them a "cool" reception when they delivered anti-gay petitions to the company's board of directors.

"We presented to the shareholders and to the chairman and the board of directors over 470,000 signature petitions asking them to remain neutral in the culture war, specifically when it addresses gay marriage and homosexual activist groups," Sharp tells OneNewsNow. The reception was cool, adds the AFA spokesman. Blake thanked AFA for the petitions but again, as in the past, reiterated the company's support for "diversity," which includes same-gender "marriage." Sharp adds: "We're disappointed that The Home Depot continues to close the door and not listen to the millions of customers who are offended that they are engaging in the culture war and taking a position in favor of gay marriage."

1. Oh, well...
They listened to them, allowed them to make their arguments and chose another direction. I believe that is their choice.

5. Somebody from HDHQ has been peeking
Into their own stores, and have seen the number of gay couples shopping there. Show a merchant a good, paying customer, and they'll cater to a rhino in a tutu if that's what it takes.

6. Dear AFA: Gays have a bigger economic impact than you whiny bigots. Get over it.

8. Wow
First of all I never liked Home Depot but this is just one more great reason! Judging from the comments on here, I think its safe to say your all going to hell! Hope its hot enough for you! So sad that all you people can think to do in your every effort is to try to do everything in your power to promote evil and the further the down fall of humanity! Congratulations the world is a worse place because your all a part of it!!
