We oppose the efforts of the homosexual movement to force its agenda on our sentiments in schools, government, business and workplaces through law, public policy and media. Our strong opposition is a reaction to the homosexual movement's aggressive strategies.
Defining the Gay Agenda

So they're against legislation that would force companies to recognize and provide benefits to the partners of homosexual employees, saying it should be their choice as a private, free market company, who to provide and not provide benefits to.

So then Home Depot, a private free market company, makes the decision to provide benefits to partners of homosexual employees and they respond with a boycott?

Excellent point.

And this why aligning social conservatives with economic conservatives results in such long term uh ohs for the GOP.

Yeah, because Home Depot, as a private company, offering equal benefits for gays is part of a vast conspiracy. It certainly has nothing to do with... Oh, I don't know... Maybe the fact that Home Depot is trying to compete for good employees and offer a non-hostile work environment? Nope, that couldn't be it and it simply must be a giant conspiracy agenda!

The idiots at AFA already boycotted Pepsi, McDonald's and Disney, we saw how well that went. Home Depot is quaking in their boots, no doubt.

As I said here on 10 Sept. 2008 when they boycotted McDonald's,

Yes I do remember when the AFA boycotted Disney for having it's Gay Days every June for almost a decade I believe and failed miserably! Perhaps those at the AFA are closet homosexuals themselves for dwelling on such a non issue instead of working to improve the lives of kids who are routinely beaten and abused by the millions across the nation!

Wanting to be free to marry the person one loves is extremist? Wanting not to be attacked because of who one loves is extremist? Wanting to simply be allowed to have a job and not be fired because of who one loves is extremist? Wanting to be able to serve in the military and not worry about being discharged just because of who you love is extremist? Because these are the only things I can see that the GLBT community is fighting for.

What exactly is the homosexual agenda? Because they forgot to forward it to me and I feel out of the loop. How ever will I earn my toaster for converting people if I don't know what the agenda is??!!!

Man, you people are some backward morons who make the rest of us who support the republican party look like idiots. Kindly dissociate yourselves from the thinking public and create your own party...

Or you can all move to White Bread, U.S.A. and set up your own hate-opia.
