Thats why I suggested the fig leaf, as thats about the only recourse that poster is going to have if they are really serious about boycotting, which of course, is tilting at windmills.
One could very well order no-print solid color fabrics from the factory... and I did say that the theoretical person would have to make their own patterns. Almost all current fashion (patterns or finished product) is either made by or influenced by people whom are not heterosexual.

Yeah, your position is that you will boycott companies that promote the gay agenda.

Since so many companies direct advertise to the LGBT community with ads tailored to that audience, you need to get your little "I heart Jesus" pencil out and start making a list of alllll the things you are going to boycott now that you've decided to "take a stand against the gay agenda."

So, do you want help compiling your list or not?


But, the fact is you probably NEVER shopped at Gap. Or Old Navy, and lord knows Banana Republic is certainly not on your (or many other "conservative" radar).

Frankly, GAP's brand was getting stale. I could walk in a store and not want a single thing. But, the past couple of seasons they've ramped up the design and are exploding in emerging markets overseas. Like it or not, it's the quintessential American casual brand. The product is much better now. Anyone who thinks GAP clothes are "expensive" must enjoy buying their clothes at Wal Mart!

It is going to be very difficult to boycott all of the gay friendly companies...you people will probably have to start living off of the land, making your own clothes, refining your own oil, building and driving your own cars, building and flying your own planes, etc.

I will save you all some trouble, here is a link to a searchable data base of gay friendly and unfriendly companies: Buyer's Guide

I find the advertisement offensive and repulsive. Don’t like it, TOO BAD!

Nobody cares if you find it "offensive" and "repulsive." Your neuroses are your own issues to work through.

Just like nobody cares if 300 angry, bored and most likely ignored by their husbands midwestern "moms" who could probably never fit in anything outside of Lane Bryant's "extended size" catalogue anyway decide they're going to Boycott GAP!

I think the ad is kinda strange, but nothin compared to "One Million Moms". How the hell do they find the time to do any actual parenting, that's what I'd like to know!

Indeed, their very name is a lie. It's no surprise they stand for a lie (That homosexuality is something to shield the rest of society from). They're not One Million. And they're not Moms. Not by any reasonable standard, anyway.

I saw the advert this morning on an electronic billboard in a not very gay part of town on busy Santa Monica Boulevard (not the gay part) in West Los Angeles.

It looked stupid. "Be Bright, Be One" doesn't speak to me - the tagline is something I'd think of for the holidays. What's it supposed to convey? The ad looks gay.

I guess the gays love it because they can see themselves reflected in the advert.

Then why did you bother replying? It obviously bothers and infuriates you and others that everybody is NOT on board with the homosexual agenda or as excited and enthused about homosexuality as you are.

Actually, we honestly don't care.

We just find the futility of people boycotting everything that supports the meanie gay agenda quite hilarious.

As research shows, nearly every company in America supports the gay agenda.
