AFA Launches Home Depot Boycott
AFA Launches Home Depot Boycott

The American Family Association has made their threatened boycott of Home Depot official, calling on their membership to cease shopping there and to bombard the company's executives with complaints about their support for them there Satanic homersexshuls. Here's their caption for this photo.

The flags in these Home Depot cups promote a gay website which proclaims itself as "the men's social group for men who have sex with men." The cups were given to children by The Home Depot gay parade marchers, while homosexual activists followed up by introducing them to gay sex websites. The Home Depot has no problem aligning itself with gay activist groups who target children with a pro-homosexual message.

The AFA then ticks off the below "outrages."

2. Homo Depot? Bear Depot?
I bet they'll lose tens of dollars in revenue because of this.

4. Their list of complaints is unbelievable
It's just made up. They mostly don't even make sense like the cups and flags things. And one of their gripes is they gave money to a group that seperately sponsored a gay pride parade.

If Home Depot isn't safe for RWers what it?

7. Let them boycott. Home Depot is a right-wing company anyway.
Shop at your local mom-and-pop, Ace Hardware, or at Lowes.

11. Good!
Home Depot has become a much better place just because they're boycotting it.
