Great. I have an exxon mobile gas card and shop at Sam's club.
And affirmative action is a very nice term for racial discrimination against better-qualified white people in jobs, employment, promotions and scholarships, and college admittance.

[/quote]I have $200 in gift cards from Christmas for Urban and I ordered like $30 worth of Domino's buffalo wings the other night. And I get my contacts from Sam's. And SoCo basically sponsors the whole town of Muskegon in the summer.
We hate the gays.
Unless the employees and executives are beating gays for sport, I think saying they "hate" gays is a little extreme.
This will not change my shopping...I don't use any of their services as is.

Of course you don't. You have to actually make money to spend money. :lol:

What are you talking about? The government spends a lot of money they haven't made...
OK, here is a question. I am a huge gay rights supporter, but does boycotting stores that will ultimately lose worker jobs when all they are trying to do is survive seem right? These workers are just working, they don't know what the corporate people think or feel.......I mean with the economy and all, shouldn't keeping people working be the priority??

Good point. But then again, they can just direct them to these companies competition. Go to Pizza Hut instead of Dominoes. A local grocery chain instead of Walmart, etc...

Well I'm not boycotting Sam's Club that's for sure. However, Exxon I can live without.

My ex is lesbian, and she has worked at walmart for 4 years. She started out as a cashier, and now she is a dept. manager, and ALMOST an assistant manager. She loves that job way too much.
I don't care about most of those places, As I don't use them. Except Autozone. But i could never stop shopping at autozone because of their views, as they are the only semi-competent parts shop around me.

I worked at a lot of Rite Aids in my days...Lets just say they were lesbian friendly where I came from! LOL...wow...
I haven't eaten Dominos since I found out they supported pro-life shit. This doesn't make them any better in my eyes.

Same here, more than that, since my money goes to it.
I mean, honestly a lot of those companies seem like they're trying to move towards change, like the liquor one and Urban. The others have a hell of a lot more wrong with them than just anti-gay policies, such as anti-woman and anti-minorities. I'm very active in gay rights and as a result I've always found it very insulting that many gay rights activists are entirely blindly focused on JUST gay rights and nothing else.
I don't eat at dominos because they taste like crap. Pizza Hut is 10x better. haha!
the gays need to shut it.
this does not change where i will or will not shop.
it actually makes me want to go spend my money at these places just to give them something more to bitch about. ugh.
i'm sorry just tired of hearing gay people complain and bitch all the time. :lol:
