Are you considering holding hands, or hugging sexual gratification?
How about public nakedness?

I don't need to Google it, since I've had to avoid the B2B traffic closures for years! Bay to Breakers is a fabulous event, and the participants always try to outdo each other with crazy get-ups. I suppose being naked doesn't count as a "get-up," but it works anyway.

Oh yeah, and have you heard about the World Naked Bike Ride? I love being in a region where people aren't so uptight and puritanical... although I personally would never considering getting nude in public, it's rather liberating to be around those who will. Wish I had their guts and self-confidence!
World Naked Bike Ride - San Francisco (that actually looks rather painful, especially for the men)

FYI: Public nudity isn't actually illegal in San Francisco, in fact it isn't illegal in MOST states... only public indecency is illegal, and there's a fine line (if the authorities so desire) between the two.

All that change did not fare well, according to the first quarter report, store sales for the first quarter declined 18.9%, total sales decreased 20.1%, and internet sales through J.C. Penney.com dropped by 27.9% from last year. "A great likeliness is that it's a direct result of a huge combination of those changes," Kislik said.

Read your own links. They stopped using coupons and discontinued the 20-cent-per-share shareholder dividends. Or do you really think it was because they hired Ellen as a spokesperson?

"Coupons were a drug, they really drove traffic," CEO Ron Johnson said at the company's analyst conference in New York.

While Wall Street was braced for sales to slump when the discounts were taken away, the unexpected dividend move was viewed as a negative.

The Plano, Texas-based company said it was discontinuing its 20-cent-per-share quarterly dividend and that it would use the resulting $175 million in savings to help fund the company's turnaround.

"What the market did not predict was the dividend cut. That is the big shock," said Brian Sozzi, chief equities analyst for NBG Productions.

"The dividend cut makes you lose shareholder support. And it also makes you wonder, do they have the balance sheet to fund this massive transformation of the business over the next two to three years?" Sozzi said.

I believe they did both -- time will tell if promoting the homosexual agenda is a good marketing strategy.

Nobody would know they're gay or gay friendly if they didn't self identify in a public way.

Gays love to advertise.
Heh. Don't forget the super secret handshake and decoder ring!
