Wal-Mart's 'Gay' Partnership Risks Conservative 'Rollback'
(CNSNews.com) - After months of criticism from union-backed groups over its employee pay and health care practices, Wal-Mart now faces a potential "rollback" of support from conservatives because of the retail giant's partnership with a homosexual business coalition.
"I don't think this is something that will sell on Main Street America, where most Wal-Mart stores are located," said Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council (FRC). "I don't think cheap prices on goods from China will be enough to stop a rollback in their customer base if they choose to go down this aisle."
Joining the FRC in criticizing Wal-Mart's new alliance with the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) is Americans for Truth, which describes itself as "the only national organization devoted exclusively to exposing and countering the homosexual activist agenda."
"Wal-Mart has always been a favorite of God-fearing Middle American customers who hold traditional family values," said Peter LaBarbera, the group's founder and president. "I'm very surprised that Wal-Mart would now bite the hand that feeds it and thumb its nose at those very customers.
"It seems to me that Wal-Mart should reconsider its unsavory alliance with these extremist homosexual activists in today's heated and polarizing culture war," LaBarbera added.

I have always thought that anyone who links up with homosexual groups must have homosexual tendencies themselves. Perhaps the head of wal-mart is a homo.
I dont shop there too much any way, but now I will be making an effort not to shop there.

I think Wal-Mart is nothing but a UGLY CEMENT EYESORE, filled with nothing but junk. Maybe they would be okay stores for Mexico and other 3rd world countries, but not for America.
I dont think anyone gay would be caught wearing an outfit from Wal-Mart anyway.  |
