Quote# 87838

I read with astonishment that JC Penney is advertising Father’s Day with an ad featuring two real life homosexual males who are in a home with kids. The ad says that a father is ‘a swim coach, tent maker, best friend, bike fixer and hug giver—all rolled into one. Or two,’ but actually no, only one person is ever your dad, the other parent is your mom. We need to keep repeating this unchanging truth. The pro-family group OneMillionMoms has called for a boycott of JC Penney and I totally support their position. A few months ago OneMillionMoms brought attention to JC Penney because they chose homosexual celebrity Ellen DeGeneres as their spokesperson, DeGeneres is a talented entertainer, but not the right person for a department store to feature. Not, that is, if they want to keep a strong customer base among American families. This latest ad was featured in the company’s June catalogue. OneMillionMoms is suggesting families return their catalogues marked ‘refused, return to sender.’

JC Penney also featured a pair of lesbians for a Mother’s Day promotion. Someone at this company evidently has a big fixation on the homosexual agenda. And they are not the only retailer going foolishly into sexual deviance. The Gap has a billboard ad currently posted in Los Angeles with the theme, ‘Be One,’ the photo shows two homosexual males closely embracing as if they are one.

…

Friends, fathers and males in general are under attack in this culture. There is not a war on women as claimed, but there does seem to be a war on men. Traditional males and fatherhood are under assault everywhere they turn. As we get ready to celebrate Father’s Day, let’s be sure to give extra attention and show our appreciation to those men, our fathers, husbands and sons, who are still, in spite of heavy pressure to be otherwise, faithful, loving and strong examples of the way God designed men to begin with.

I don't think it's JC Penney who is fixating on the "homosexual agenda". I'm pretty sure they're trying to be good capitalists. I thought Good Christian Fathers(TM) got boners for capitalism.

So you're basically contradicting yourself there, Linda Smarmy.

"Someone at this company evidently has a big fixation on the homosexual agenda."

I don't think they're the only ones.

"faithful, loving and strong examples of the way God designed men to begin with."

Just like your hero Newt, especially the "faithful" part.

This basically boils down to, "Wah, they're treating the people I irrationally hate like they're actually human beings" and "Wah, my side is losing". Acceptance of gay people is on the rise, and people like Linda just can't stand it because they know it means that they're losing.

"If there are one million of you, how come there are only 33,165 members? It just don't make sense to me."

What are you women doing, organizing and telling businesses how to act? You should be at home taking care of your house and kids. Gotta maintain those gender roles you value so much.

OneMillionMoms is suggesting families return their catalogues marked ‘refused, return to sender.’

JC Penney and The Gap aren't stupid. They know exactly where their customer base is and how to appeal to them.

Your boycott and your returned catalogues? JC Penney's going to laugh about them all the way to the bank.

Btw, leave corporate America alone, you fucking communist French Revolutionary fascist liberal! Big capital is run by God himself. They never do anything wrong. How dare you contradict a multi-million dollar business. That's UN-AMERICAN, you pinko. ;-)

You morons sure do have a lot of free time on your hands. I thought all of you types cared about 'the children'. What are you doing about kids who are starving, or live in a car or are abused? Oh that's right, nothing. Because you're a bunch of self-righteous idiots.

Their protests have actually boosted JC Penney's reputation, and boosted sales of Green Lantern's comic.

Gee, it's almost as if the majority of Americans are NOT whiny, bigoted homophobes! Funny, that!

This is just like WASP people back in the '60s objecting to all the Negroes and Mexicans that started to pop up in advertisements.

So JC Penny wants to show an appeal to diversity. Who cares? It's not like acknowledging that gay people EXIST is an attack on "traditional" marriage. Speaking of which, Linda, are you employed? Do you vote? Because the "traditions" of marriage from as little as 50 years ago that you want to preserve so desperately mandate that you do neither, and just stay at home and forfeit your humanity.

But really, I'm curious. What kind of person looks at the mere existence of people with same-sex attractions and feels like it makes THEIR relationships less valid? How neurotic is that?

You know, Linda, it's kinda hard to take you seriously when Bill O'Reilly thinks you are too far to the right.

No doubt being a dutiful, obedient Christian housewife palled for Linda after a while so she decided to start sticking her nose into other people's business and being a general busybody, interfering gossip, and sanctimonious interfering pain in the arse.

DeGeneres is a talented entertainer, but not the right person for a department store to feature.

In other words, "We don't want to look like totally homophobic, reactionary bigots, but we won't tolerate her being the spokesperson for any business."

My grandfather was a better dad to me than my actual dad ever will be. My grandmother is also like a second mom to me, though my mom was actually a great one, so it's like I had two great moms.

tl;dr Fuck you. You don't get to decide who is, or isn't a good parent figure.

I think there should be more positive posts on the site, like people rejecting fundamentalism... Despair seems hard to contain sometimes...

Thanks for the warning. I would always tend to use any business which was avoided by deluded bigots.

As a heterosexual father let me say right here and now that I don't feel diminished or threatened in any way, shape, or form by two gay men in a loving relationship raising children. More power to them.
They're certainly better than some of the straight fathers I have known who have left a trail of destroyed lives in their wake. Some of them even considered themselves Christians. Yeah, right.

You and your ilk are inching closer and closer to irrelevancy with each passing day. You're already teetering on the edge of it. In the Deep South—the buckle of the Bible Belt and the most socially and economically backwards part of the entire nation—support for marriage equality among the youngest generation of voters is near 60%. In more progressive regions of the country, that number is 90%.

I want nothing more from you than to see your tears when you finally lose for good and the Supreme Court strikes every single unconstitutional same-sex marriage ban in the country in one fell swoop. Actually, what I'd really like to see is for you to genuinely understand the error of your ways and come out in support for marriage equality after you realize how your bigotry hurts, ruins, and even ends the lives of others. However, I know better than to expect such a big realization from such a willfully small mind.
