Eh, I don't really agree. I don't eat or drink certain things because it's the principle of the matter. For instance, I heard Snapple was anti-gay so I don't drink Snapple. Not that I ever did but whatever.

Homophobes are always worried that something is going to be rubbed in their face or rammed down their throats.

I did more looking around, and I liked what I saw. I wouldn't have stepped in the door except to look for the pants, but now I"ll be back.

The Ellen DeGeneres argument--that she somehow hurt their sales--is ridiculous. She's the 10th most powerful celebrity in the United States according to Forbes, and people LOVE HER.

Indeed. And my shopping somewhere has nothing to do with whatever celebrity may endorse their products. More like the merchandise, as you have alluded to. However; to be fair most of the JC Pennys around here are located at a shopping mall, and the last time I was at a mall was to take my kid to see Santa. Seeing has he stopped believing in Santa about 3 years ago, that is probably the last time I've been there.

I prefer Kohls to be honest.

Wait. What's rubbed in your face at JCP? Homosexuality?

Dang, my JCP is a rather boring store. Can I ask which JCP you shopped at? Three more weeks until the start of football and I have some weekends open. Will there be a gay pride parade through cosmetics and jewelry? I need a reason to wear this rather flamboyant red feather boa I was given some years ago and I'd like to show my solidarity with the LGBT community.

(Please tell us they all sing "YMCA" while standing on the counters. I remember all the movements and everything. Oh, this is just fabulous!!)

They lost half a billion dollars, so it must be more than just a few customers who have walked away.

As I said, it's obvious you don't even read the posts on the very thread that you start. Maybe start reading, you could learn a thing or two.
