Fundies: Levi's has "joined the homosexual cause."
Edited on Thu Oct-02-08 06:10 PM by marmar
Good Lord! Now even denim will make you gay.:crazy:



from OneNewsNow, the alleged "news" service of the American Family Association:



List of Prop. 8 opponents now includes Levi's
Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 10/2/2008 9:50:00 AM


As the election nears on Proposition 8 in California, another corporation has joined the homosexual cause.

Proposition 8 would overturn a California Supreme Court ruling legalizing homosexual "marriage." Levi's is the latest Fortune 500 company to toss money in the hat of homosexual activists to help defeat it.

Levi's CEO John Anderson told Yahoo! News that opposing Prop. 8 is customary according to the company's history of defending civil rights. During the 1940s, the company integrated its factories in California and was also, in later years, the first Fortune 500 company to give domestic partners health benefits.

Randy Thomasson of SaveCalifornia.com believes there are actions supporters of traditional marriage can take. "Boycott and remove themselves as customers from Levi's, from Pacific Gas & Electric if possible, from AT&T which is surely possible," he explains, referring to other companies that have jumped on the anti-Prop. 8 bandwagon. "I don't even want to see Steven Spielberg movies anymore because that man donated $100,000 for defeat of marriage between a man and a woman." Along with Spielberg, actor Brad Pitt also has contributed $100,000 to fight Proposition 8 with hopes to spur other celebrities and wealthy moguls to give their money.

Millions of dollars have poured into both camps as polls are showing supporters of the initiative lagging several points behind. However, Thomasson believes the bottom line depends on whether Bible-believing Christians go to the polls in large enough numbers to pass the amendment.

"The attack of the darkness should get the people who know what is true and (what) is right motivated," he contends.

10. Does Speilberg's wife know?
"I don't even want to see Steven Spielberg movies anymore because that man donated $100,000 for defeat of marriage between a man and a woman."

I believe he's married to Kate Capshaw who is, indeed, a woman.

13. in a related note, "Wrangler" announced their satisfaction at "having flipped another one"
Edited on Thu Oct-02-08 06:41 PM by kenny blankenship
"Of course, this was the Big One," they enthused. "Levis was our obsession- you might say our white whale. We've had Levi's in our sights from the beginning, and all the rest of our conquests -Jordache, Guess?, Calvin Klein- were just practice. There were times the dream seemed unattainable but we never gave up. With the release of Brokeback Mountain drilling down into the culture and saying out loud what everybody had always sensed, Levis no longer had to deny their curiosity and it was just a matter of time."
