Hate is alive and well in America I see. Take solace knowing these bigots are ineffectual and slowly their ilk is dying off.

Do you know how ridiculous this sounds? You're obviously WAY out of touch with the fact that gay men have a history of moving into old, worn out neighborhoods and making them better by improving the housing stock. You can see it in practically every city in this country.

The boycott page shows Home Depot employees wearing pro-gay symbols on their uniforms, why should we see their lifestyle being bluntly shown in our faces? I know I will not be shopping at Home Depot anymore,

Boycott The Home Depot

I think actions like this only make the AFA look like an extremist organization.
I voted no because you can't boycott a place you don't use anyway, can you? I prefer Lowes to the depot.

Maybe they'll agree to take them down if you take down any religious symbols you wear or display in public.

I see people wearing crosses and other pro-Christian symbols every day. Why should we see their lifestyle choice being bluntly shown in our faces? A lifestyle that chooses for itself a symbol of oppression and torture.

Oh and BTW, religion is a lifestyle choice - being gay is not.

They were sponsers of a pride parade. Unless you shop for home improvement products at pride parades it's probably not going to be an issue.
