How exactly are they doing that -- besides using Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson?

Could it be that maybe just MAYBE JC Pennys is struggling, because their merchandise isn't what it used to be?

You must be deeply connected to former JCP shoppers to know that they are staying away because of some supposed gay friendly program.

JCP is in trouble because it has been badly run for many years now.

Lots of other gay friendly businesses seem to be doing well. How about Disney? They own Star Wars now. Do you think people won't watch Star Wars (old or future) because Disney parks are gay friendly?

It is not an organized effort with people running around with bull-horns telling people what to do. The customers simply made a personal desicion to stop shopping at JCP. That's what I did.

Target sells gay pride t-shirts.

Walmart contributes to the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and has a special "gay & lesbian interest" section for DVDs on its website.

Sears advertises on LOGO, a gay cable channel.

Costco and Amazon endorsed same-sex marriage in Washington.

So where do you shop?

The "two daddies" and "two mommies" ad campaigns for example.

It has nothing to do with gays. The number of people who are as extremist as you is relatively small, so you really have little collective economic effect. JC Penney was already circling the drain long before they had anything to do with Ellen. They are simply out of touch with what the consumer wants.

J.C. Penney Heads for Ninth Quarter of Plunging Sales

Numerous reason why they are having issues.

I understand the spiritual angle that Finn is coming from, but 1) it's hard to prove that assertion to non-Christians especially when 2) many companies that embrace the lifestyle still profit.

God can definitely make life difficult at certain times.

Tell that to the JCP stockholders... The results speak for themselves.
