AFA Boycotting Pro-Gay Home Depot


AFA HOME DEPOT BOYCOTT X390 (THEIR SITE) | ADVOCATE.COM

The antigay American Family Association is targeting Home Depot because the retail chain sponsored pride festivals and offers domestic-partner benefits to its employees.

JoeMyGod reports the AFA has launched a formal boycott, urging its members to stop shopping at Home Depot stores. The AFA website includes the two images, shown above, including the picture with children that is allegedly from a pride festival.

According to the AFA: "The flags in these Home Depot cups promote a gay website which proclaims itself as 'the men's social group for men who have sex with men.' The cups were given to children by The Home Depot gay parade marchers, while homosexual activists followed up by introducing them to gay sex websites. The Home Depot has no problem aligning itself with gay activist groups who target children with a pro-homosexual message."

The AFA takes umbrage with Home Depot sponsoring Pride events in Nashville and Durham, N.C., as well as offering domestic-partner benefits to its employees. The AFA also tries to incite ire by pointing out Home Depot offers insurance benefits that cover gender reassignment surgery.

    Shame on The Home Depot for promoting this kind of filth. They should know better. The Home Depot doesn't deserve to have any decent human in their stores until they come to their senses and apologize publicly. 'If a man lies with a male as he lies with a female, both have committed an abomination.' Homosexuality is a disgusting sin against God and man. Sinner: do you not fear God, or at least fear His judgment? Don't you wonder about eternity? Now is the time to repent, while God's mercy can still be found. The time is coming when the mercy of the Almighty will be taken away, and then there will be no place to hide. And it is a fearful thing to fall into the hand of the living God!

    I am too a long Home Depot Customer, my company spends millions of dollars due to our business (landscaping, home renovation, etc). We have decided not to buy at Home Depot anymore, I would rather promote local businesses who doesn't support any political agenda. It's insane the promotion of such immorality, the gay agenda is affecting everybody and is one of the reasons why our Country is in decline. It's time to defend the innocent minds of our Kids, immorality only leads to chaos and chaos would lead us to the destruction of our great Nation. Let's declare our Independence Day from the Homosexual Agenda!!!!

    I am a long time Home Depot employee/customer and I want to apoligize for the judgement call by corperate not to remain nuetral on an ethical issue such as this one. I think it would be wise for us to be more sensitive to the traditional morals people also. Please dont hate the homosexuals, only the dangerous lifestyle they live.

    Excuse me . . . but just because homosexuals have contact with children, doesn't mean that child will grow up to be homosexual, or heterosexual based on that experience. It isn't a germ, virus, or anything contagious . . . it's how a person is born, natural selection. I never met a single homosexual growing up, in fact I didn't even know what homosexuality was, until I myself realized that I was attracted to men. In fact, my whole family, all 9 aunts and uncles, and cousins knew I was gay before i did. They were just waiting for the day I would accept myself for who I am. Just because a child is told that two men live together, and share their lives together, and are married isn't going to harm, scar, maim, or leave psychological damage. Children aren't aware of what goes on in peol's own bedrooms behind closed doors, unless someone has told them. So perhaps, the fingers that are being poknted at the corrupting, sexual deviants, should be looking at themselves for telling a chil

    Pro homosexual message? What are these bigots talking about, and for that matter . . . what does go on in there minds? Seriously. There were children at a festival, with a parade of people celebrating life, happiness, diversity, and acceptance. Isn't that what we should be teaching our children, eh, rather targeting children with messages of pride, acceptance, and diversity? Isn't that what the bible, and Jesus both teach? I don't see how this is any different than when what about these christian activist groups, and the homophobic activist groups . . . when children are involved aren't' those groups then targeting these innocent children? If you go by what some others have said, then yes. Furthermore, what's so despicable about homosexuality? Before people decided to quit letting society suppress them, and ostracize them, there were still homosexuals. Just because the, "gays", are more confident now, and more accepted, doesn't mean they're gong to be turning every child

    I am a contractor who spends over $2.5 million dollars per year on materials. I have instructed my purchasing agents not to purchase from Home Depot in the future or until Home Depot makes public changes in their policies concerning their support of gays.
