Like you have one dim iota of what JCP's customer base is.

Does this affect your life somehow?

I still highly doubt they're being pressured, as the whole "gay army" and agenda are just a figment of the conservative imagination.
If you don't care why are you going off in a tizzy? I simply stated an opinion.

That is the truth. Love the discount coupons Kohl's mails almost monthly if you have their charge card. What with their usual sale prices and then the coupon worth 30% off, you can practically get stuff for free! Then they award you cash back money! One time, we got a huge set of luggage there worth over $1,000 for a couple hundred! Kohl's is definitely the new Penny's, which use to be a decent store but is pretty weak now. As the French might say, Passee Pennee.

Sucker for the coupons. They have the same sale going on all year long just like pennies. 30% off or whatever for fathers day, mothers day, mem day, labor day, tuesday. They simply jack up the price probably 40% and give you 30% off to make you feel like you got a deal to keep you coming back.

Good for them. They stick to their beliefs.

How am I "going off on a tizzy?" I'm merely stating my opinion too, and my opinion is that you're being paranoid for no reason. Do you really think there's some gay army pressuring big businesses?

P.S. I said I don't care about JCPenney having a gay ad & spokesperson - not that I don't care about what you said.

I like JCP and hope they recover. I'm all for gay rights too
That said I'm over homosexuality as an issue. I want it gone. I wish we could get over the last hurdle because frankly the controversy over it is annoying the crap out of me.

With their new pricing, so much better then Kohls, and Kohls customer sevice, i find sucks. But that is just one opinion, i know many people love them.
I find that Kohl's in no way has the selection that JCP does, and their return policy, no way matches JCP'S new Happy Returns. And i find their sales people are not helpful in the least.

My friends don't find that Kohls has a great selection, even with their new J.LO. Collection.

So not true that they are not doing good business. Their business is better then ever, at least the JCP stores out here. I happen to know a couple managers and supervisors of JCP Stores, and their business has picked up so much. The stores they work at have had nothing but gains, since their new format.

Your friends are lying to you.
