Wal-Mart asks for, and receives, permission to join homosexual
marriage group
Wal-Mart comes out of the closet
Dear dhenwood@panix.com,
Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the world, has asked for and
received permission to join the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of
Commerce. The NGLCC is a leading promoter of homosexual marriage.
Read “Wal-Mart Partners With Gay and Lesbian Group”
Although Wal-Mart has never excluded homosexuals from being
employees, customers, or suppliers, the company wanted to be more
closely identified with promoting the homosexual agenda. Wal-Mart is
now a “corporate member” of the NGLCC, putting their approval on the
NGLCC’s efforts to abolish the definition of marriage as the union of
one man and one woman. A Wal-Mart vice president will serve as an
advisor to the NGLCC, helping them promote homosexual marriage.
Wal-Mart agreed to give $25,000 to the NGLCC and to pay for two
conferences scheduled by NGLCC. Also, Wal-Mart will give homosexual-
owned businesses special treatment when making purchases. Companies
not owned by homosexuals will be moved down the list.
NGLCC called Wal-Mart’s action “part of the company’s ongoing
commitment to advancing diversity (homosexuality) among all of its
associate, supplier and customer bases.”
Wal-Mart is offering the same kind of support for homosexual marriage
which Ford Motor Company has been giving to homosexual groups for years.

Wow…talk about spin.
I seriously doubt Wal-Mart joined the NGLCC just so they can support gay marriage. I also doubt they will give “homosexual” businesses an “advantage”. They are going to buy from whomever is going to give them the best price on an item. Corporations, for the most part, are blind and could care less whether someone is gay, straight, disabled, or mutants from another planet.
Additionally, there’s a difference between diversity and homosexuality. I’m guessing whoever wrote that added “(homosexuality)” after the diversity.
I would also like to see direct information that supports the fact that Wal-Mart supports gay marriage. From what I’ve read in that post, I’m guessing the parts about gay marriage were added ex post facto to add spin to the “story”.

Not that I think this issue on Wal-mart isn’t true, I would have to see actual documentation before I would spread the word on this issue. I am a valuable associate to a supercenter. I do not want to put my job in jeapordy.

So what???!!! Do you really think Jesus would turn his back on anyone?! Regardless if they are homosexual or not, we (as Christians) should not allow this mindset of disapproving anyone or anything that we do not necessarily agree with. We are here to share the love of Christ! Not to boycott a corporation, because they seemed to have better morals and manners to actually treat these people as human beings. For once, I say “Get Real!” and share the love of Christ with everyone, even if you don’t condone their lifestyle. Thanks
