I couldn't agree with you more! I wear my "outdated" clothing which is of acceptable quality. I refuse to buy those rags. Unbelievable how much the quality of clothing has dropped in most department/clothing stores. I hope this is not a hint of things to come.

I do know a thing or two kiddo. I wasn't born in 1995, like some others.

Retailers should leave politics to politicians and focus on retail. Picking a fight with a large componant of the population is idiocy and marketing suicide.

Other retailers, if they really want to fail, should embrace the gay agenda as well. I wonder if anyone with half a brain thinks that another retailer will try the same strategy?
Suicide indeed.

I am sure the CEO, who ran JC Penny into the ground, will leave with a multi-million dollar severance package.

Just about every major company markets directly to gays. They don't seem to be having any problems.

Even Levis, Ford, Toyota, Chevy, Cadillac, American airlines, Delta, Progressive, Allstate, State farm, Kia, Subaru, Nike, Wrangler, Bud, Coors, Miller, and many many more market to gays. They aren't going anywhere.

Anyone who is giving credit to the million moms (40,000)/blaming the gay ad campaign for this event clearly has never been into a JCPenney's.

True. I had a list of 557 major companies typed out before I got tired of searching. I need to dig up that list.

After all you are vilified now if you don't agree with the new militant gay army. A homophobe I think is the term they like to throw around. I guess time will tell.
Home Depot?? What are they doing??

JC P really shoved it out there with that ad. I didnt even know those others were on that pink wagon. Maybe that's why they haven't been impacted. They are really low key.

JCP will probably be a lesson to them.
