Searing Sears: AFA lashes out against another gay-friendly retailer
The boycott-happy folks at the American Family Association are now turning their gay-unfriendly attention to Sears, who they are chastising for advertising on the Logo network. In an email to followers, AFA head Don Wildmon (pic) says:
Sears has thrown its support to the LOGO network. LOGO is the 24-hour cable television network dedicated to programming for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders according to a homosexual advertising website. It is carried on many cable systems around the country. Many of you have been forced to accept it as part of your cable package. Sears is now helping to make it mainstream!
Sear's advertising will help LOGO air shows like "Sex 2K Drag Kings," "The Gayest and Greatest of 2006," and "Transgeneration."
Sears advertising (two-minute infomercials) will go to help the fledging network get on firm financial ground. Sears advertising is financing LOGO's push to legalize homosexual marriage in addition to promoting the homosexual lifestyle.
Oh, AFA. Never have they met a gay-accepting company policy or practice that they didn't chastise. Seriously, if there were like an award for "Most Offensive Condemnations of Even the Most Benignly Queer-Friendly Corporate Practices" -- these kids would take the cake and then criticize it for being too fruity!
But if you think this is bad, just wait until these silly characters hear about Sears' new lines of Ken & Kenmore appliances and Craftsman-on-man tools. Those, coupled with the portrait studio's planned "Lesbians and Their Asian Babies" package -- gonna set the AFA into a tizzy of Biblical proportions!
However, for now it's simply a retailer's decision to advertise to a specific market that has 'em a reeling. And that, my friends, is an offensive, extremist, threatening, falsely moral, bigoted concept that any freedom-loving American should chastise. For now we'll abstain from recommending you fill Sears' corporate Inboxes with words of support. Although if this thing proves to have gay-demonizing legs, we'll be sure to let you know.
